Hafnium can react with a variety of elements to form compounds, such as oxygen to form hafnium dioxide (HfO2) or with chlorine to form hafnium tetrachloride (HfCl4). It is generally considered to be unreactive at room temperature but can react with strong acids and alkalis under high temperature conditions.
Hafnium is an element, not a compound. It is a transition metal with the atomic number 72 and symbol Hf.
Hafnium has 2 electrons in its first shell and 8 electrons in its second shell. Therefore, in the outer shell of hafnium, there are 2 + 8 = 10 valence electrons.
Hafnium-174 is the most common isotope of hafnium, making up about 31% of naturally occurring hafnium.
Metals form cations and non-metals form anions.
Pure hafnium doesn't exist in the nature; hafnium form many compounds.

Yes, the cation Hf4+.
0 in the elemental form
Hafnium is an element not a rock. Hafnium is never found in nature pure form so does not fit into any groups. Hafnium is a chemical element, a metal placed in the group 4 and period 6 of the periodic table of Mendeleev.
Hafnium is an element, not a compound. It is a transition metal with the atomic number 72 and symbol Hf.
Hafnium is malleable.
Hafnium is a shiny, silvery metal that does not have a distinct color.
Hafnium has 2 electrons in its first shell and 8 electrons in its second shell. Therefore, in the outer shell of hafnium, there are 2 + 8 = 10 valence electrons.
Fine powders of hafnium are pyrophoric.
There are 37 isotopes of Hafnium.
