The atomic number of a chemical element is the number of protons found in the nucleus of the atom of that element.Ok so I'll take you through some interesting facts and data about Zirconium (That most people don't know).
Zirconium Overview
Atomic Symbol
Zr (Zirconium)
Description
Gray-white, lustrous, corrosion-resistant metal.
State at 20 °C
Solid
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.
