The Metals

Note: Ba and Sr will be treated collectively due to very similar chemistries.

Both barium (Ba) and strontium (Sr) are silvery white metals resembling aluminum. The metals are unstable in air and burn with incandescence in moist air or when heated. They decompose water, evolving H2 and forming Ca(OH)2 or Ba(OH)2. The same reaction occurs more readily in acids—exercise caution.
