Strontium. They both have two electrons in their outermost energy level, however since the electrons are farther from the nucleus in Strontium than in Calcium, Strontium is more readily able to shed these two electrons to achieve a more stable state with it's outermost energy level being complete (with 8 electrons).
What else can I help you with?
Can strontium chloride dissolve in water?
Strontium hydroxides soluble at higher temperatures, where it forms a strong alkaline solution by completely dissociating in addition to dissolving (not the same thing).
What is the measurement of the amount of calcium and magnesium which water contains?
The amount of calcium and magnesium in water determines its hardness.
How many water molecules are bound per formula unit of strontium chloride?
there are six bounds
Find the mass of water driven off when 1.252g of strontium chloride hexahydrate is decomposed by heating?
0.5077g
Reaction between strontium carbonate and sulfuric acid?
The products of this reaction are strontium chloride, carbon dioxide and water.
How do group II elements differ in vigor as they react with water?
Group II elements become more vigorous as you move down the group when they react with water. For example, beryllium reacts slowly with water, while magnesium reacts more vigorously. Calcium, strontium, and barium react even more vigorously, with barium being the most vigorous among the Group II elements in water.
Elements that are in Akialine Earth Metals?
The alkaline earth metals are beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium, and radium. These elements are all metallic in nature and share similar chemical properties, including the ability to react vigorously with water. They are located in Group 2 of the periodic table.
What will react with water?
At least all the alkali metals, calcium, strontium, barium, fluorine, chlorine, and bromine.
Does calcium react in acid?
Yes, calcium does react with acids such as hydrochloric acid to produce calcium chloride and hydrogen gas. This reaction is a common example of a metal reacting with an acid to form a salt and hydrogen gas as a byproduct.
What observation is expected when strontium is added to water?
Oh, what a delightful question! When strontium is added to water, you can expect to see a gentle fizzing or bubbling as the strontium reacts with the water to form strontium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. It's like nature's own little chemistry experiment, bringing a touch of magic to our world. Just remember to observe from a safe distance and appreciate the beauty of science in action.
Which metals react slowly with cold water but vigorously with steam?
All metals, if they do react with water at all, react faster in steam than in water. However, the metals that react SLOWLY with cold water are the metals from Group-IIA(Magnesium, Calcium, etc).
What happens when uranium and strontium get wet?
Uranium don't react with water at room temperature; strontium react with water and the hydroxide Sr(OH)2 is formed.
Does cold water have more calcium in it than warm water?
The solubility increase with the temperature, consequently the concentratiom is greater in warm water: but for calcium hydrogen carbonate and calcium carbonate the difference is not important.
Does water react with alkali metals vigorously?
Yes
How does calcium react in water?
When calcium comes into contact with water, it reacts to form calcium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. This reaction is vigorous and exothermic, producing a cloudy white precipitate of calcium hydroxide due to its low solubility in water. However, the reaction is less violent than the reaction of alkali metals with water.
Is there any extremely powerful military explosives that react to a large or small amount of water?
In general, miltary explosives are very water tolerant, and do not react with water. Ammonium nitrate is used for some military engineering work, and is very soluble in water- but does not have a violent reaction. Sodium, potassium and calcium carbide WILL react vigorously.
What is more water soluble calcium sulfate or strontium sulfate?
Calcium sulfate is more water soluble than strontium sulfate. In water, calcium sulfate has a solubility of about 0.2 g per 100 mL at room temperature, whereas strontium sulfate has a solubility of about 0.006 g per 100 mL at the same temperature.
