Strontium typically loses electrons to form a positively charged ion (Sr2+). It is in group 2 of the Periodic Table, meaning it tends to lose two electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.

Strontium atom differs from a Strontium ion in that the atom has a greater?

number of electrons, while the ion has a different number of electrons due to the loss or gain of one or more electrons.


How is a strontium atom different from a strontium ion?

An isotope has extra or fewer neutrons in the nucleus than the average number for that element. This may or may not result in a radioactive isotope. An ion has extra or fewer electrons orbiting the nucleus. This usually increases the chemical reactivity.
