There are 37 isotopes of Hafnium.
The element hafnium has no distinctive odor, nor is it magnetic at room temperature. There are five stable isotopes of this element, so most hafnium is not radioactive. But there are a number of isotopes that have been synthesized that are radioisotopes. Additionally, this transition metal is not explosive or even flammable. A link can be found below.

Pure hafnium doesn't exist in the nature; hafnium form many compounds.
Hafnium is a rare element with rare applications: - component of control rods for nuclear reactors - component of some alloys - getter in lamps and tubes - electrode for plasma cutters - hafnium dioxide was recently used as an electrical insulator in microprocessors - hafnium carbide has a very great point of melting (the most refractory compound known today) - possible use in weapons (USA)
the atomic number of hafnium is 72, protons? 72, neutrons? 106, electrons? 72
The atomic number of hafnium is 72. So there is 72 protons.
Hafnium has 72 electrons and protons; the number of neutrons is different for each isotope and depend on atomic mass of the isotope.
Hafnium is malleable.
Hafnium is a shiny, silvery metal that does not have a distinct color.
5.7
Fine powders of hafnium are pyrophoric.
Hafnium-174 is the most common isotope of hafnium, making up about 31% of naturally occurring hafnium.
