Given information
Two elements (Strontium) and (Oxygen) are given and we have to determine the type of bond between them.
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
Strontium is an alkaline earth metal and oxygen is a non-metal.
Strontium have two electron in its valence shell whereas oxygen have six electrons in valence shell.
So, in order to form a bond to attain stability Strontium will loose two electrons.
Similarly, oxygen will gain two electrons to complete its octet.
