I-Zirconium: I-Zirconium yinto yekhemikhali enophawu lwekhemikhali i-Zr. Inombolo yayo yeatom ngama-40. Yintsimbi emhlophe-emhlophe ephezulu enyibilikayo enombala ongwevu okhanyayo. Ubuninzi be-6.49 g / cm 3. I-melting point yi-1852 ± 2 ° C, indawo yokubilisa yi-4377 ° C. I-valence yi- +2, +3 kunye ne +4. Amandla e-ionization yokuqala yi-6.84 eV. Umphezulu we-zirconium kulula ukwenza ifilimu ye-oxide kunye ne-luster, ngoko ukubonakala kufana nentsimbi. Iyakwazi ukumelana ne-corrosion kwaye inyibilika kwi-hydrofluoric acid kunye ne-aqua regia. Iphendula ngezinto ezingezizo ezentsimbi kunye nezinto ezininzi zetsimbi kumaqondo obushushu aphezulu ukwenza iikhompawundi zesisombululo esiqinileyo. Ukusetyenziswa kwe-zirconium: ipropathi yamandla enyukliya, ukumelana nokugqwesa okugqwesileyo, indawo ephezulu yokunyibilika, ukomelela okuphezulu kunye nobulukhuni, ukuziphatha okuphezulu kumaqondo obushushu aphantsi.
