Reaction of zirconium with acidsZirconium does not react with most acids, under normal conditions. It does dissolve in hydrofluoric acid, HF, most likely forming fluoro complexes
Reaction of zirconium with airZirconium does not react with air under normal conditions. If brought to burn, zirconium will react with oxygen, O2.
Zr(s) + O2(g) ZrO2(s) Reaction of zirconium with basesZirconium does not appear to react wih alkalis, under normal conditions.
Reaction of zirconium with halogensZirconium reacts with halogens, when heated, forming the corresponding zirconium(IV) halides.
Zr(s) + 2 F2(g) ZrF4(s) [white] Zr(s) + 2 Cl2(g) ZrCl4(s) [white] Zr(s) + 2 Br2(g) ZrBr4(s) [white] Zr(s) + 2 I2(g) ZrI4(s) [white] Reaction of zirconium with waterZirconium does not reacts with water, under normal conditions.
