Strontium

Description:
Strontium is a chemical element with the symbol Sr and atomic number 38. It is a soft, silvery-white alkaline earth metal that is highly reactive, particularly with water and air, forming a protective oxide layer. Strontium is typically found in nature in mineral forms, such as celestine and strontianite. It has a relatively low melting point and boiling point compared to many other metals. Strontium is known for its bright red flame when burned, making it useful in pyrotechnics and fireworks. In terms of biological significance, strontium is similar to calcium and can be incorporated into bones, which has implications for both health and environmental studies. Strontium compounds, such as strontium carbonate and strontium sulfate, are used in various applications, including in the production of ferrite magnets and in the medical field for certain treatments. Due to its reactivity, strontium must be handled with care, typically stored under oil or in an inert atmosphere to prevent oxidation.
