How hard is hafnium?
The density of hafnium is 13,31 g/cm3.
Melting point above 3000K?
Metals: tantalum, rhenium, wolfram, osmium Nonmetals: diamond, graphite Compounds: hafnium carbide, hafnium boride, hafnium nitride, tantalum hafnium carbide, etc.
What does hafnium react with?
If there is a reaction, it it would produce hydrogen gas and a corresponding hafnium salt. For example if you use hydrochloric acid, you would get hafnium chloride.
Is hafnium a good heat conductor?
The thermal conductivity of hafnium is 23 W/m.K at room temperature.
Can hafnium be mistaken for thorium?
Though both Hafnium and Zirconium are in the periodic table's fourth group, Hafnium is generally more associated with Zirconium. In terms of electron shells, Thorium has an extra shell of 18 electrons much like Hafnium, so there probably is some relation in behaviour. In other words, yes Hafnium may be mistaken for Thorium, but mistaking it for Zirconium is much more likely.
Does hafnium have a smell?
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.
What is the color of hafnium?
Hafnium is a metal, steel grey.
Is hafnium malleable?
Hafnium is malleable.
How hard is hafnium?
The density of hafnium is 13,31 g/cm3.
What is the origin of hafnium?
Hafnium is a natural chemical element; hafnium hasn't minerals but it is associated with zirconium (unrefined zirconium contain approx. 2 % hafnium).
Is hafnium combined or uncombined?
Pure hafnium doesn't exist in the nature; hafnium form many compounds.
Can you burn hafnium?
Fine powders of hafnium are pyrophoric.
How many isotopes does hafnium have?
There are 37 isotopes of Hafnium.
Is hafnium metal or non-metal?
Hafnium is a metal.
How is Hafnium made today?
Hafnium is found in tandem with zirconium deposits. It is separated from the zirconium during refinement as hafnium chloride. It is then reduced with magnesium to produce pure hafnium.
What is the appearance of hafnium?
Hafnium is a metal, steel grey appearance.
Hafnium is magnetic or non-magnetic?
Hafnium is a single element and therefore nonpolar.
