Finely powdered strontium metal is sufficiently reactive to ignite spontaneously in air. It reacts with water quickly (but not violently like the Group 1 metals) to produce strontium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. Strontium and its compounds burn with a crimson flame and are used in fireworks. Strontiumâs Periodic Table Neighborhood Strontium is a Group 2 Alkaline earth metal. It usually exists as a divalent ion, Sr 2+, in its compounds. Strontiumâs chemistry is very similar to that of calcium, which sits above it in Group 2.
Members of a group typically have similar properties and electron configurations in their outer shell. A horizontal row in the periodic table. The atomic number of each element increases by one, reading from left to right. Elements are organised into blocks by the orbital type in which the outer electrons are found. These blocks are named for the characteristic spectra they produce: sharp (s), principal (p), diffuse (d), and fundamental (f). Atomic number. The number of protons in an atom.
