Strontium chloride (SrCl2) is a salt of strontium and chloride. It is a typical salt forming neutral aqueous solutions. Like all compounds of Sr this salt emits a bright red colour in a flame; in fact it is used as a source of redness in fireworks. Its chemical properties are intermediate between those for barium chloride which is more toxic and calcium chloride.
