Classified as an alkaline earth metal strontium is a solid at room temperature.
Relative atomic mass the mass of an atom relative to that of.
Density g cm 3 density is the mass of a substance that would fill 1 cm 3 at room temperature.
Sublimation the transition of a substance directly from the solid to the gas phase without passing through a liquid phase.
Strontium metal burns in air to produce both strontium oxide and strontium nitride but since it does not react with nitrogen below 380 c at room temperature it forms only the oxide spontaneously.
Strontium 90 a radioactive isotope of strontium is a common product of nuclear explosions.
