1) Strontium bursts into flames when it is exposed to air. 2) It was discovered in Scotland. 3) It's used in fireworks and toothpaste. 4) Strontium is a soft, silvery metal. 5) Strontium titanate is very soft but has an extremely high refractive index and an optical dispersion greater than that of diamond. (It bends and separates light)
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.
Strontium is group 2 element and is the second element in period 5 with an atomic number of 38
Period 5 with the atomic number of 38.
In January 1990 it cost about $5/oz.

The element with 38 electrons is Strontium (Sr). Strontium is an Alkaline Earth Metal in Period 5 of the Periodic Table. Strontium has 38 electrons, 5 electron shells and 2 electrons in the outer shell.
No idea strontium sulphate?
