Due to its position in the periodic table, strontium-90 displays a high rate of reactivity. The powdered form of the element ignites without warning and burns vigorously in the air. For this reason, strontium metal is usually stored under kerosene or oil to prevent the reaction with air. Strontium-90 is also capable of reacting with nitrogen and hydrogen to form strontium nitride and strontium hydride. When reacted with dilute acids or cold water, strontium-90 produces hydrogen gas.
