Strontium
Strontium Ion
A strontium ion has a charge of +2
It will lose 2 to form Sr2+
An isotope has extra or fewer neutrons in the nucleus than the average number for that element. This may or may not result in a radioactive isotope. An ion has extra or fewer electrons orbiting the nucleus. This usually increases the chemical reactivity.

Calcium, strontium and Barium form white precipitates of their oxalates with C2O4-2 ions.
Strontium forms SrO (strontium oxide) when exposed to O2 gas. It can also form strontium peroxide (SrO2).
