No, Strontium Chloride (SrCl2) and Strontium Nitrate (Sr(NO3)2) are not the same; they are different chemical compounds. Strontium Chloride consists of strontium and chloride ions, while Strontium Nitrate contains strontium and nitrate ions. Their chemical properties, uses, and solubility in water also differ significantly.
Strontium is in the 5th period of the periodic table.
1) Strontium bursts into flames when it is exposed to air. 2) It was discovered in Scotland. 3) It's used in fireworks and toothpaste. 4) Strontium is a soft, silvery metal. 5) Strontium titanate is very soft but has an extremely high refractive index and an optical dispersion greater than that of diamond. (It bends and separates light)
Strontium is used in everyday life in the form of strontium carbonate, which is utilized in the production of fireworks to create red colors. Strontium is also used in strontium aluminate, a compound that is used in glow-in-the-dark paints, plastics, and clothing.
In January 1990 it cost about $5/oz.

The element with 38 electrons is Strontium (Sr). Strontium is an Alkaline Earth Metal in Period 5 of the Periodic Table. Strontium has 38 electrons, 5 electron shells and 2 electrons in the outer shell.
Strontium is in the 5th period of the periodic table.
The ratio 87Sr/86Sr is important for rocks dating (geochronology).

Strontium (Sr)
Strontium is an alkaline earth metal; group 2 and period 5 in the periodic table of Mendeleev.

There are many uses of strontium that nobody would think of. Strontium is used in the fire that is in flares; the kind of flares police men use to tell people to watch out. It is also used for fireworks. Some types of strontium are used to make the glass on a color television tube. It is sometimes used in optical materials such as glasses or telescopes. If a doctor puts a little bit of strontium in a person's body, it is taken up by the bone tissue. Then the doctor uses radiation detectors to locate the radioactive strontium to assess the patents abnormalities.
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.
