For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Barium, (if you cared to look at your Periodic Table), is a Group II metal, so has a valency of +2.
Sulphate (SO4 ^2-) ions have a valency of -2.
Hydroxide is OH- (ie -1)
Nitrate (NO3-)
Ammonium ion (NH4+) is positive (like a metal ion)
Charges and values must balance. Try and work it out for yourself, you might actually learn, understand and remember something - rather than getting someone to do your homework for you.
