Is calcium more reactive than strontium?
No, strontium is more reactive than calcium.
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 least reactive calcium magnesium radium strontium and barium?
calcium
A radioactive isotope of strontium Sr is especially dangerous to humans because it tends to accumulate in bone marrow tissues how does this relate to the organization of the periodic table?
Strontium doesn't accumulate in the bone MARROW; it accumulates in the bones themselves. Bones are primarily calcium, and strontium is in the same column of the periodic table. Since it's in the same column, it reacts in similar ways. So if you ingest radioactive strontium (strontium-90, a radioactive isotope, is a common fission fragment) then the strontium may be taken up in place of calcium and incorporated into your bones. Radioactive bone strontium can kill off the bone marrow, which generates blood cells. This can lead to leukemia and anemia, among other blood diseases.
Which would be a better drying agent between calcium hydride and strontium hydride?
calcium hydride

What do barium calcium chlorine magnesium potassium sodium and strontium have in common?
All discovered by Humphrey Davy through electrolysis

Which would be a better drying agent between calcium hydride and strontium hydride?
calcium hydride
What are two elements that have similar properties to the element calcium?
Calcium shares properties with Magnesium and Strontium.
How many Alkaline earth metals are there on the Periodic Table of Elements?
Six elements are there. And they are: beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium, radium
What element on the periodic table is directly below calcium?
Strontium
What is the similar properties of calcium barium strontium?
They have "ium" in their name.
