The ionic substance strontium oxide, forms from the reaction of strontium metal with molecular oxygen

The arrangement of the ions in solid SrO\mathrm{SrO} is analogous to that in solid NaCl\mathrm{NaCl}

In this exercise, we have to write a balanced equation for the formation of SrO(s)\mathrm{SrO}(s) from its elements

Balanced equation:

2Sr(s)+O2(g)2SrO(s)2 \mathrm{Sr}(\mathrm{s})+\mathrm{O}_{2}(\mathrm{g}) \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{SrO}(\mathrm{s})
