Use the periodic table to answer the question.
An illustration shows the periodic table of elements. The elements in the periodic table are arranged in groups (columns numbered 1 through 18) and periods (rows numbered 1 through 7) such that the atomic number increases along a period from left to right. The elements are divided into the following categories: · Alkali metals · Alkaline earth metals · Transition metals · Post-transition metals · Lanthanides · Actinides · Metalloids · Nonmetals · Noble gases · Unknown The elements are also classified on the basis of their physical states as follows: · Solid · Liquid · Gas · Unknown The element sulfur is enlarged with the following properties. · Chemical symbol: S · Name: Sulfur · Atomic Number: 16 · Atomic mass: 32.06 · Common oxidation states: 6, 4, 2, negative 2 · Electronegativity: 2.58 · Ionization energies: 999.589 · Electron configuration: [Ne] 3s2 3p4

Strontium (Sr) is an alkaline earth metal located in Group 2 of the periodic table. Alkaline earth metals typically have two electrons in their outermost shell and tend to lose these electrons during bonding to achieve a stable electronic configuration (similar to that of the nearest noble gas).
As a result, when strontium forms bonds, it is more likely to give up its two outer electrons, resulting in the formation of a positive ion (Sr²⁺).
So, the correct response is:
**It will give up electrons, forming a positive ion.**
