Question

Titanium is identical to zirconium in all chemical and physical properties.

(a) True

(b) False

I have been asked this question by my school teacher while I was bunking the class.

The question is from Chemical Processes of Titanium in section Titanium and its Alloys of Aerospace Materials & Processes

Answer 1

Right answer is (b) False

To explain I would say: The above statement is incorrect. Zirconium is a different element. It has an atomic number of 40 and is a lustrous element. It resembles titanium in some character traits but is not completely identical to it.
