| Other researchers are looking into using different atoms, such as calcium, strontium, and ytterbium. |
| Because of its chemical closeness to calcium, strontium can comfortably replace the lighter element in enamel, dentin, and bone. |
| Phosphorus reacts with sodium and probably with strontium and calcium to form phosphides that nullify the intended modification additions. |
| Most metal sulfates are soluble in water, except for barium, lead, and strontium. |
| Plants incorporate strontium in place of calcium but the amount is determined by the relative abundance of these elements in the soil. |
| Nearly two decades later, Davy showed that strontia was a compound of a metal and oxygen, a metal to which the name strontium was then given. |
