Would you expect strontium (Sr) to be more like potassium (K)or bromine (Br)?

Strontium, with atomic symbol Sr, would be more like potassium, because both strontium and potassium are active metals and bromine is a nonmetal. The actual element with symbol S is sulfur, and that would be more like bromine, because those elements are both nonmetals.

What kind of bond would you expect atoms strontium and iodine to form?
It is ionic bond
Would strontium and Fluorine covalently bond?
no ionic strontium is a metal and flourine is a nonmetal
Does strontium chloride have a ionic or covalent bond?
It is ionic as are all strontium compounds.
What would react more vigorously with water strontium or calcium?
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).
How many atoms of iodine in strontium iodide?
Strontium and iodine would form ionic bonds in a compound with formula SrI2.
Would you expect strontium to be more like potassium bromine why?
Strontium, with atomic symbol Sr, would be more like potassium, because both strontium and potassium are active metals and bromine is a nonmetal. The actual element with symbol S is sulfur, and that would be more like bromine, because those elements are both nonmetals.
Would you expect strontium to be like potassium or bromine?
Strontium is closer to potassium because both are metals and belong to s-block of Periodic Table.
Would you expect iodine to displace bromine form a solution of potassium bromide?
No. However, bromine would displace iodine in potassium iodide.
What elements would you find in sea water?
Chlorine, Sodium, Magnesium, Sulphur, Calcium, Potassium, Bromine, Boron, Strontium and Silicon. Oh yeah...and Hydrogen and Oxygen.
What happens when you combine potassium carbonate and strontium chloride?
It would yield 2KCl +SrCO3, Potassium Chloride will be soluble while the Strontium carbonate will be insoluble
What is the formula of the chemical combination strontium and bromine?
What is the binary formula for strontium bromide
Will potassium lose electrons or gain electrons when reacting with bromine?
Potassium would lose electrons in all its reactions especially with Bromine.
What would happen if bromine water and potassium astatide were added together?
they would react
What kind of bond is potassium and bromine?
An ionic bond will form between potassium (K) and bromine (Br). This compound, potassium bromide, KBr, is a salt, which is, in general, the combination of a metal (a Group 1 or Group 2 element) and a halogen (a Group 17 element). All salts are bonded ionically.
Why does potassium have a larger atomic radius than bromine?
When looking at potassium and bromine, it would seem that with more electrons occupying more orbitals, bromine would be larger. However, in addition to those additional electrons, bromine also has additional protons. These protons in the nucleus pull on all of bromine's electrons with more strength than the nucleus of potassium, and the stronger pull offsets any size gained by adding electrons. In short, bromine's nucleus pulls harder.
If a bromine atom were to attract an extra electrons from potassium the potassium atom would become charged?
The potassium atom would become positively charged - or a cation.
What is the element with a valence electron configuration of 2s2 2p4?
Bromine has 7 electrons in its fourth energy level.
