Answer:

Sr²⁺ is the cation and OH⁻ is the anion

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem here states that we should identify the cation and anion in strontium hydroxide;

The formula of the compound is given as:

Sr(OH)₂

An anion is the negatively charged specie that has gained electrons

A cation is a positively charge specie that has lost electron
