o Electronic configuration: 2,8,8,18,2

I Isotopes, if any: Total number of Isotopes 15

A few alloys/compounds formed by the element:

o Alloys: AE Alloys™

Compounds: 15

Which property of the element enables it to form a compound?

Strontium reacts vigorously with water and quickly tarnishes in air, so it must be stored out of contact with air and water. Due to its extreme reactivity to air, this element always naturally occurs combined with other elements and compounds

Why does the element not form any compound?

of Its extreme reactivity with oxygen and water, strontium occurs naturally only in compounds with other elements, such as in the minerals strontianite and celestine

Discoverer of Strontium

1. Adair Crawford Adair Crawford FRS FRSE (1748 – 29 July 1795 [1] ), a chemist and physician, was a pioneer in the development of calorimetric methods for measuring the specific heat capacity of substances and the heat of chemical reactions. In his influential 1779 book " Experiments and Observations on Animal Heat ", Crawford presented new experiments proving that respiratory gas exchange in animals is a combustion (two years after Antoine Lavoisier 's influential " On combustion in general "). Crawford also was involved in the discovery of the element strontium . 2. William Cruickshank (chemist) William Cruickshank (died 1810 or 1811) was a Scottish military surgeon and chemist, and professor of chemistry at the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich . William Cruickshank was awarded a diploma by the Royal College of Surgeons of England on 5 October 1780. In March 1788 he became assistan...

About Strontium

Strontium Metal Strontium is the chemical element with the symbol Sr and atomic number 38. An alkaline earth metal , strontium is a soft silver-white yellowish metallic element that is highly chemically reactive . The metal forms a dark oxide layer when it is exposed to air. Strontium has physical and chemical properties similar to those of its two vertical neighbors in the periodic table, calcium and barium . It occurs naturally mainly in the minerals celestine and strontianite , and is mostly mined from these. Both strontium and strontianite are named after Strontian , a village in Scotland near which th...
