Crystal Structure of Zirconium (Zr) [& Color, Uses, Discovery ... 2022

All atoms have a crystalline structure, even Zirconium. Ok but how do we know what is the crystal structure of an atom of Zr?

In the case of Zirconium the crystalline structure is Hexagonal. There is a lot of cool facts about Zirconium that people don't know. Let me walk you through...

Zirconium Overview

Zirconium Crystal Structure

Hexagonal

Atomic Number

40

Learn more about the atomic number.

Atomic Mass

91,224

Learn more about the atomic mass.

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.

Sources

Found in many minerals such as zircon and baddeleyite.

Description

Gray-white, lustrous, corrosion-resistant metal.

Atomic Symbol

Zr

Name Origin

From the mineral, zircon.

State at 20 °C

Solid

Discovery

Discovered By: Martin Klaproth
Year: 1789
Location: Germany

Citation

When you need to include a fact or piece of information in an assignment or essay you should also include where and how you found that piece of information.

That gives credibility to your paper and it is sometimes required in higher education.

To make your life (and citation) easier just copy & paste the information below into your assignment or essay:

Luz, Gelson. "Crystal Structure of Zirconium (Zr) [& Color, Uses, Discovery ..." Materials. Gelsonluz.com. dd mmmm. yyyy. <URL>

Now replace dd, mmmm and yyyy with the day, month, and year you browsed this page. Also replace URL for the actual url of this page (The < and > stay, ok?). This citation format is based on MLA.
