What is a full form of Sr plus?

This question is quite hard to understand. If you want the full words it's strontium plus. However, the metal strontium is in group II and usually forms Sr 2+. If you want the full electronic configuration it is 2,8,18,8,1 for the unipositive ion and 2,8,18,8 for the dipositive ion. To show this with the full subshell notation is very confusing without being able to do superscripts, but it's the same as krypton for Sr 2+, and [Kr] 5s1 for Sr +.
