Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. We are dealing with the element strontium (Sr).
. Strontium is in the second group of the periodic table.
3. Elements in the second group of the periodic table (alkaline earth metals) typically form ions with a + charge.
STEP 2
Identify the group of the element in the periodic table. Strontium is in the second group of the periodic table.
STEP 3
Predict the charge of the ion formed from strontium. Elements in the second group of the periodic table typically form ions with a +2 charge.
The ion formed from strontium is Sr²⁺.
