Strontium (Sr) is an alkaline earth metal located in group 2 of the periodic table. Atoms of alkaline earth metals typically have two electrons in their outermost shell, and they are inclined to lose these electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration, similar to the nearest noble gas.
Therefore, during bonding, a strontium atom is likely to:
Give up electrons, forming a positive ion.
This is the correct response.
