Sr2+ is exactly the same as Kr, in terms of electrons and orbitals.
I think the appropriate word for this relation is isoelectronic.
According to Ptable and LumenLearning, $\ce{Kr}$ has an atomic radius of 88 pm, while $\ce{Sr^2+}$ has an atomic radius of 132 pm. Although it is true that $\ce{Kr}$ and $\ce{Sr^2+}$ have the same electron orbital ...

There are two factors determining acidity of a compound, the electronegativity factor and the size factor. Down the period, the size factor dominates, and the reason $\ce{HI}$ is more acidic than $\ce{HF}$ is because of this factor, as in the former molecule, the orbitals of iodide participating in bonding are larger and more diffuse, hence bond is weaker.

TL;DR: "Hydrogen persulfide" is technically a very crude mixture of various hydrogen polysulfides ($\ce{H2S_n ; n\geq2}$). It has long sulfur chains and is formulated as $\ce{H-(S)_{n}-H}$. To avoid confusion, each members of the mixture is named according to number of sulfur atoms. So, $\ce{H2S2}$ is hydrogen disulfide.
Long answer:
It is prepared ...
