What element has 40 protons and 53 neutrons?
Zirconium-93
is composed of 40 protons, 53 neutrons, and 40 electrons.
What does zirconium look like?
Zirconium is a
silver-gray transition metal
, a type of element that is malleable and ductile and easily forms stable compounds.
Is zircon an element?
zirconium (Zr),
chemical element
, metal of Group 4 (IVb) of the periodic table, used as a structural material for nuclear reactors.
Where is zirconium found?
Zirconium occurs in about 30 mineral species, the major ones being zircon and baddeleyite. More than 1.5 million tonnes of zircon are mined each year, mainly in
Australia and South Africa
. Most baddeleyite is mined in Brazil.
How many protons are in an atom with a atomic number 40?
Protons and Neutrons in Zirconium
Zirconium is a chemical element with atomic number 40 which means there are
40 protons
in its nucleus.

Argon has the chemical formula Ar. The most stable isotope of Argon has
22 neutrons
in its nucleus giving it an atomic mass of 40.
Iodine atoms have the same number of protons & electrons, so 53 electrons. But iodide ions have gained one electron to create the charge of
-1
. So, iodide ions have 53 + 1 = 54 electrons.

Originally formed by
crystallization from a magma or in metamorphic rocks
, zircons are so durable and resistant to chemical attack that they rarely go away. They may survive many geologic events, which can be recorded in rings of additional zircon that grow around the original crystal like tree rings.
Zirconium is as strong as tungsten and titanium
. It is also corrosion-resistant and is harder than stainless steel or silver.
