No, it is a metal.
Zirconium has a concentration of about 130mg/kg within the Earth's crustand about 0.026μg/L in sea water. So it's not very abundant, though not rare.
There is almost no difference in chemical properties between zirconium and hafnium metals or their compounds with the same nonmetal counterparts, because these two metals have the same valence electron configurations and almost the same atomic size.
Zirconium is an element - as are silver and lead. Therefore, zirconium is not silver nor lead and, conversely, silver is not zirconium, lead is not zirconium.
No. Zirconium is an element and so it contains only zirconium.
A metal tube/pipe made of zirconium or a zirconium alloy.
Zirconium tetrachloride is obtained by the chlorination of zirconium dioxide (not zirconium carbide).
Zirconium is a metal.
Zirconium has no odor.
Zirconium is a natural chemical element; zirconium is found in some minerals.
Zirconium is typically found in compounds, such as zircon, zirconium silicate, and baddeleyite. These compounds are then processed to extract and purify zirconium metal for various industrial applications. Finding zirconium in its pure state is rare in nature.
It is possible as zirconium alloys (zirconium metallic glasses) or zirconium dioxide ceramics.
Zirconium is a metal and is typically odorless. It does not have a distinct smell.
