- A soft silver-white or yellowish metallic element of the alkali metal group; turns yellow in air; occurs in celestite and strontianite
- A metallic chemical element (symbol Sr) with an atomic number of 38
- A silvery, soft metal that rapidly turns yellow in air. Sr-90 is one of the radioactive fission materials created within a nuclear reactor during its operation. Stronium-90 emits beta particles during radioactive decay.
- A metal often used in a radioactive form for imaging tests or as a treatment for cancer.
- Metallic element with atomic weight 87.62 and atomic number 39. It is very reactive and so always found in compounds with other elements. One radioactive isotope, strontium 90, is produced by nuclear fission of uranium. ...
- This trace element is necessary for corals, clams, and other creatures with calcareous skeletons to grow. It is most commonly added as strontium chloride SrCl2.
- Symbol:"Sr" Atomic Number:"38" Atomic Mass: 87.62amu. This element is a member of the alkaline metals family. Strontium is grouped with other barium-like minerals. It is reactive and oxidizes quickly, becoming a yellowish color. You may find it in magnets, TV tubes, and nuclear reactors. ...
- A trace element in natural saltwater that aids in calcerous algae growth. Also see the Saltwater Aquarium Supplements article.
- No MCL has been set, but the element is analyzed using nitrous oxide -acetylene flame. The primary concern is the presence of a radioactive form, known as Strontium-90.
