The chemical similarity between hafnium and zirconium is based on the electron structure of these elements. Both appear below titanium in the Group 4 transition metals, and the electron structure of their outer or valence shells is similar.
That is a consequence of lanthanoid contraction due to poor shielding effect of 4f electrons in Zr and 5f electrons in Hf.
Do you think at atomic radius ? Zr calculated atomic radius: 206 pm, Hf calculated atomic radius: 208 pm. Or atomic mass? Zr: 91,224, Hf: 178,49.

Rajesh Karia has written: 'Trimethylamine complexes of In (III), Cd (II), Hg (II), Zr (IV), and Hf (IV)'
These are transition metals (Ti, Zr, Hf, Rf), with high melting points, resistant to corrosion, reacting with nonmetals, being tetravalent.

Zirconium: transition metal, group 4 (titanium family: Ti, Zr, Hf, Rf), period 5, block d, atomic number 40.
Zirconium is a transition metal, group 4 (titanium family: Ti, Zr, Hf, Rf) and period 5 in the periodic table of Mendeleev.
6 elements which are titanium(Ti), Zirconium (Zr), Hafnium(Hf), rutherfordium (Rf), Cerium (Ce), and thorium (Th). here thorium and rutherfordium are radioactive elements.
Zirconium is a chemical element with the symbol Zr and the atomic number 40. It is a lustrous, gray-white strong transition metal that resembles titanium.
6 elements which are titanium(Ti), Zirconium (Zr), Hafnium(Hf), rutherfordium (Rf), Cerium (Ce), and thorium (Th). here thorium and rutherfordium are radioactive elements.
The chemistry of rutherfordium is practically unknown; the electronegativity was not calculated. It is supposed that Rf has similar chemical properties as Zr and Hf. Compounds as RfBr4, RfCl4, RfOCl2, K2RfCl6, etc. are known today.
The 2000 Model Toyota Celica ZR is known as a ZZT-231.
