Step 1: Identify the element on the periodic table. Strontium (Sr) is in the second group (IIA) of the periodic table.
Step 2: The group number of an element in the periodic table can be used to determine the number of valence electrons. For elements in group IIA, they have 2 valence electrons.
Step 3: Therefore, an atom of Strontium (Sr) has 2 valence electrons.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Valence Electrons

Valence electrons are the electrons located in the outermost shell of an atom. They play a crucial role in chemical bonding and reactions, as they are the electrons that can be gained, lost, or shared when atoms interact. The number of valence electrons can often be determined by an element's position in the periodic table.

Periodic Table

The periodic table organizes elements based on their atomic number and electron configuration. Elements in the same group (column) typically have the same number of valence electrons, which influences their chemical properties. For example, alkaline earth metals like strontium (Sr) are found in Group 2 and have two valence electrons.
