OtherCations =Calcium oxide Barium oxide Strontium oxide or strontia, SrO, is formed when
strontium reacts withoxygen . Burning strontium in air results in a mixture of strontium oxide andstrontium nitride . It also forms from the decomposition ofstrontium carbonate SrCO3. It is a strongly basic oxide.About 8% by weight of
television picture tube glass is strontium oxide, which has been the major use of strontium since 1970. Color televisions and other devices containing colorcathode ray tube s sold in the United States are required by law to use strontium in the faceplate to blockX-ray emission. (Lead oxide can be used in the neck and funnel, but causes discoloration when used in the faceplate.)References
