Hafniums

/ˈhæfniəmz/ noun

Definition

Plural of hafnium; multiple quantities or samples of the element hafnium or hafnium compounds.

Etymology

From hafnium plus regular English plural -s.

Kelly Says

Scientists rarely pluralize element names—you'd say 'samples of hafnium' not 'hafniums'—so this form is technical and unusual, used mostly when discussing multiple forms or alloys.
