All atoms have an atomic number. But what is the chemical element that has 40 as atomic number?
The answer is Zirconium and there is so much cool stuff about Zirconium that people don't know that I would keep reading if I were you.
Alright now to the facts!

Sources
Found in many minerals such as zircon and baddeleyite.
Found in many minerals such as zircon and baddeleyite.
Uses
Used in alloys such as zircaloy which is used in nuclear applications since it does not readily absorb neutrons. Also baddeleyite is used in lab crucibles. Used in high-performance pumps and valves. Clear zircon (ZrSiO4) is a popular gemstone.
