In the article, there is the reaction:

8 BaO + BaAl4 → Ba↓ + 7 BaAl2O4
The correctly balanced version (assuming the chemical formulas are correct) is:

8 BaO + BaAl4 → 7 Ba↓ + 2 BaAl2O4  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Programmerjake (talk • contribs) 05:52, 5 October 2021 (UTC)

It says in Characteristics/Compounds that Barium salts are denser than the Strontium or Calcium analogs, "except for the halides". Either the latter statement or the table with given densities is wrong. Unfortunately, I don't have got any source presently to determine which is incorrect. 192.164.132.85 (talk) 12:07, 11 June 2025 (UTC)
