How is the arrangement of molecules made in strontium?

Answer 1

Strontium is a heavy metal, which is more usually found in ionic compounds than in molecules, however, it can form similar types of molecular arrangements to those of calcium.

Answer 2

In strontium, the arrangement of molecules is determined by its crystal structure, which is face-centered cubic (FCC). In this structure, each strontium atom is surrounded by 12 nearest neighbors arranged in a symmetrical manner, resulting in a close-packed structure. The arrangement of molecules in strontium is based on the principles of close packing and atomic interactions.
