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.
Electrons orbit the nucleus in energy levels, which are also called shells. These energy levels contain sub-shells, or orbitals, each of which holds a certain number of electrons. By looking at the electron configuration for titanium, it is possible to determine how its electrons are arranged. There are two electrons in the s orbital of the first energy level. The second level contains eight electrons, with two in the s orbital and six in the p orbital.
