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.)

∙ 10y agoStrontium would be expected to be more similar to calcium due to it being in the same column of the Periodic Table, this corresponds to the amount of valance electrons, and is a comparable relationship to the similarities between lithium and sodium.
Strontium would share many similar properties with those of calcium. This is because strontium and calcium are both found within the same group, in this case, group 2 which is the alkaline earth metals.

∙ 14y agoStrontium is more similar to Calcium then Rubidium as they are both in the same group (vertical). Where as Rubidium is in the same period but don't share similar properties (horizontal).

∙ 13y agoStrontium is most similar to calcium as they are both group 2a elements.

∙ 14y agoStrontium is closer to potassium because both are metals and belong to s-block of periodic table.

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 is the similar properties of calcium barium strontium?
They have "ium" in their name.
Would calcium be more chemically similar to potassium or to magnesium?
Magnesium
Why is calcium similar to strontium and magnesium?
because they are all alkaline earth metals and occur naturally in nature.
What element probably has a boiling point most and least similar to the boiling point of calcium?
This element is strontium (Sr).

What metal produces a crimson flame?
Calcium, rubidium, lithium and strontium have red (or similar) colors in the flame tast.
Are the properties of rubidium more similar to those of cesium or those of strontium?

What are two elements that have similar properties to the element calcium?
Calcium shares properties with Magnesium and Strontium.
The chemical properties of calcium are most similar to the chemical properties of?
The chemical properties of calcium are most similar to (in between) the chemical properties of magnesium and strontium.

This element is strontium (Sr).
What has similar chemical properties to rubidium?
Rubidium (Rb) can react with many things such as hydrogen because rubidium has one spare electron 2, 8, 18, 8, 1 and hydrogen has only one outer electron so hydrogen in water will reactvigorously with rubidium as hydrogen is desperate to gain one electron and rubidium is desperate to lose one electron and when these bond they form an ion.
What element would you expect to behave the most like calcium?
Calcium is in group 2/IIA, so the other elements in that group would be expected to behave most like calcium.
Which pair of ion produce similar colors in the flame tests?
To know which pairs of ions produce similar colors in the flame test it is important to know what the pairs of ions are. Without knowing this a person will not be able to know which would produce similar colors in the test.
