Zirconium and Hafnium
Zirconium is a chemical element with the symbol Zr, atomic number 40 and atomic mass of 91.224. The name of zirconium is taken from the mineral zircon, the most important source of zirconium, and from the Persian word "zargun - زرگون", meaning "gold colored". It is a lustrous, grey-white, strong transition metal that resembles hafnium and, to a lesser extent, titanium.
