Each isotope of an element has a different number of neutrons: Atomic Mass of the isotope - Atomic number = Number of neutrons

How was zirconium formed?
Zirconium is formed through the s-process (slow neutron capture) in high-mass stars during their late-stage evolutionary phase. During this process, stable isotopes of zirconium are produced by capturing neutrons slowly and steadily over long periods of time. Additionally, zirconium can also be formed through the r-process (rapid neutron capture) in supernovae explosions.
What is decay product of Yttrium90?
Yttrium-90 (Z= 39, N=51) decays to Zirconium-90 (Z=40, N=50) by emission of a beta particle (Neutron - > Proton + beta minus). Zirconium-90 is stable.
What is the other product in a beta decay of zirconium-93?
The other product in the beta decay of zirconium-93 is niobium-93. In beta decay, a neutron in the nucleus is converted to a proton, resulting in the formation of a new element with one higher atomic number.
Is zirconium a silver or lead?
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.
Does zirconium contain iron?
No. Zirconium is an element and so it contains only zirconium.
What is zirconium tube?
A metal tube/pipe made of zirconium or a zirconium alloy.
Is zirconium a metalloid?
Zirconium is a metal.
What is zirconium's odor?
Zirconium has no odor.
What is the reaction equation of the preparation of zirconium tetrachloride from zirconium carbide?
Zirconium tetrachloride is obtained by the chlorination of zirconium dioxide (not zirconium carbide).
What is the origin of the zirconium?
Zirconium is a natural chemical element; zirconium is found in some minerals.
What is cladding material of nuclear fuel?
The cladding material of nuclear fuel rods is typically made of zirconium alloys, such as zircaloy. Zirconium is chosen for its high corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, and low neutron absorption properties. These characteristics help to prevent the release of radioactive materials from the fuel rods during operation.
Can you touch zirconium?
Of course, zirconium is not dangerous.
