2 Facts

2.1 Interesting Facts

Strontium element is softer than Calcium.
Silvery Strontium turns yellow, if exposed to air.

Barium oxidizes very easily in the air.

All toxic compounds of Barium can easily dissolve in water.

Barium carbonate is used to produce a Rat poison and its other compound Barium nitrate is used in fireworks to produce green color.

3 Uses

3.1 Uses & Benefits

Strontium metal is used to producing ferrite magnets as well as refining zinc.
By-product of nuclear reactors called Strontium-90 is a radioactive isotope; it is absorbed by tissues and destroys bone marrow and cancer growth.

It is sued in chemical paint manufacturing and glass manufacturing.
Compounds of this metal are toxic; but still the barium sulfate is insoluble and given to patients suffering from digestive disorder.
