| | | | Term Symbol | 3F 2 | | Discovery | It was discovered in zirconia by the German chemist Martin-Heinrich Klaproth (University of Berlin, Germany) in 1789. Zirconium was first isolated by Swedish chemist Jöns Jacob Berzelius in 1824 (Stockholm, Sweden) in an impure state, and finally by the chemists D. Lely, Jr. and L. Hamburger in a pure state in 1914. | | Name Derived From | The name derives from the Arabic zargun for "gold-like". |
