Sr will always have 38 protons because that is its atomic number. Normally Sr has 38 protons and 49 neutrons yielding an atomic mass of 87. unless you are dealing with an isotope of Strontium in which 3 additional neutrons would give you the 53 neutrons in your answer, (38p, 52n).
Out of the options, the best indicator is a color change since it is the only one that can't really be blamed on a physical change. you will eventually notice that during qualitative labs and some quantitative labs, usually the thing that you are looking for is either color change or the production of a precipitate to indicate the presence of a chemical reaction
The answer is the 3rd choice
Answer:
Explanation:
The number of valence electrons tells us the group number of the neutral atom.
