Calcium,barium and radium are mostly similar to strontium by properties, because these elements have the same structure of external electron orbits ( outer-shell orbitals 2s).Because of the similarity of the outer shell orbitals these elements are placed in the same group.

Magnesium and beryllium have also the same structure of outer shell orbitals like strontium(2s)but they are more similar to zinc or aluminium than to strontium.

Is strontium similar with sulfur?

Strontium and sulfur are both chemical elements, but they are not similar in terms of their properties or behavior. Strontium is a metal that is in the same group as calcium, while sulfur is a nonmetal that is commonly found in compounds like sulfides and sulfates. They have different physical and chemical properties.


Why does strontium replace calcium in human bones?

Strontium is chemically very similar to Calcium. The human body will readily use Strontium as bone-making material, but Strontium does not satisfy the other uses the human body has for Calcium e.g. regulating calcium content in blood, etc.


What element has the same physical and chemical properties as magnesium and strontium?

Calcium has similar physical and chemical properties to magnesium and strontium. They all belong to the same group of the periodic table, which means they have similar reactivity and characteristics.


Is strontium chemically similar with calcium or rubidium?

Cesium. For non-transition elements such as rubidium, cesium, and strontium, the most chemically similar element to any other element is always one in the same column of the Periodic Table but in an adjacent row. Since strontium is not in the same column as rubidium but cesium is in the same column and an adjacent row, the answer follows. (This rule is sometimes true also for transition elements, but not always: For example, for elements in columns 8, 9, and 10, the most nearly chemically similar element is one in the same row and an adjacent column within this group, rather than one in the same column but an adjacent row.)


Difference between calcium carbonate and strontium carbonate?

Calcium carbonate is a chemical compound commonly found in rocks, pearls, and eggshells, while strontium carbonate is a similar compound that contains strontium instead of calcium. They both have similar chemical properties but strontium carbonate is slightly more soluble in water than calcium carbonate. Strontium carbonate is often used in fireworks and ceramic glazes, while calcium carbonate is commonly used as a dietary supplement and in construction materials.


What element on the periodic table is directly below calcium?

The element directly below calcium on the periodic table is strontium. Strontium has similar chemical properties to calcium because they belong to the same group, known as alkaline earth metals.

What two elements can replace calcium?

Strontium and barium are two elements that can replace calcium in some chemical reactions or compounds due to their similar chemical properties.


How many electrons will Strontium gain or lose in forming a noble gas configuration?

Strontium, a group 2 element, will lose 2 electrons to attain a noble gas configuration because it will achieve a stable electron configuration similar to the nearest noble gas, which is krypton. Strontium has 38 electrons in its neutral state, while krypton has 36 electrons. By losing 2 electrons, Strontium becomes Sr2+, and its electron configuration is similar to krypton.


Do strontium and iodine have similar properties?

No, strontium and iodine have different properties. Strontium is a soft, silver-white metal that is reactive with water, while iodine is a nonmetallic element that is a dark purple solid at room temperature and forms diatomic molecules. Their chemical properties and reactivity are quite distinct.
