History of The Components (Ba and ClO3)
- Barium
Barium was discovered by a Swedish chemist named Carl Wilhelm Scheele in 1774 in the form of BaO. For a short time it was called "Bologna Stones" because of its prevalence in Bologna and because of how dense it is.
- Chlorate
Research into the explosive abilities of chlorates dates back to 1788. There were many research facilities opened up in Europe to work with these compound but now a lot of evidence remain from them because most of them blew up. Due to this problem, chlorates have not been used in explosives for a long time. They are much too unstable.

“Hence, a generative grammar must be a system of rules that can iterate to generate an indefinitely large number of structures. This system of rules can be analyzed into the three major components of a generative grammar: the syntactic, phonological, and semantic components.”
