Zirconium Element in Periodic Table | Atomic Number Atomic Mass

Zirconium Element:

Zirconium is a chemical element and it is a member of group 4 and period 5 in the periodic table. The atomic number of zirconium is 40 and it is indicated by symbol is Zr. Zirconium element is a strong, ductile, malleable, lustrous and grayish- white metal. Five isotopes are occur naturally ⁹⁰Zr, ⁹¹Zr, ⁹²Zr and ⁹⁴Zr and ⁹⁴Zr. It has concentration of about 130 mg/kg with in the Earth’s crust and about 0.026 μg/L in sea water.

Uses Of Zirconium Element:

• Zirconium is used in surgical instruments, photographic flashbulbs and in making glass for televisions.
• Zr is used in space and aeronautic industries to manufacture high-temperature parts like combustors, blades and vanes in jet engines.
• It is also used to make superconductive magnets.
• Zirconium catalysts are used in hydrogenation, amination, isomerization and oxidation reactions.
