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.
Looking at the periodic table below, we can see that metals reside on the left-hand side and the center of the periodic table, and that most of the elements on the periodic table are classified as metals. Nonmetals are located on the far right-hand side of the periodic table. Metalloids are elements that have both metallic and nonmetallic properties, and are located on a diagonal between the metals and nonmetals on the right-hand side of the periodic table.
