TITANIUM It’s the 22nd element, and its symbol is Ti. Boiling Point- 5949*F. Melting point- 3034*F Density- 4.506 g/cm^-3 Protons/electrons/-22 Neutrons-26 Atomic mass-47.867 AMU. Atomic number-22 Electron figuration and orbital notation- this is the spdf of titanium Number of valance electrons- 4 William Gregor first discovered the element titanium in 1791. It was first named as Manaccanite. But later on, in 1791, a guy named Martin Klaproth re-discovered the element. He named it titanium after the greek-mythlogy, the titans. Currently, Gregor is credited to discovering it first, yet we kept klaproths name for it, Titanium. Gregor discovered this element while in Cornwall. He was doing very accurate chemical analysis of the Cornish minerals while he was studying Ilmenite from the Manaccan valley, where is it formed and also mined- it is a very common metal, and is found in igneous rocks. It is usually found in Rulite, Ilmenite, magnetite and iron. It is only found with another metal, never by itself.

It is strip mined, and the soil is taken to factories where they take out the ore from the dirt. It costs a lot of money to separate it from the soil, and because of this, it costs a lot of money to purchase. It is mined in Russia, china, Australia, Canada, India, Norway, South Africa, Ukraine, and the United States (Arkansas).

Chemical properties- it oxidizes immediately upon with contact with air. It is almost as resistant as platinum, and is capable of withstanding an attack by dilute sulfuric and hydrochloric acids as well as chloride solutions and most organic acids. But it can be attacked by concentrated acids. As shown by the redox potential, titanium is a very reactive metal. An example is that the metal burns before it melts. Melting is only possible in an inert atmosphere or in a vacuum. Titanium is also one of the only elements that burns in pure nitrogen gas.

Physical properties- titanium is recognized for its high strength to weight ratio. It is a strong metal with a low density that is quite ductile. It is lustrous and metallic-white in color. Because it has a high melting point, it makes for a refractory metal.

Found with – rutlie and ilmenite. It can alloy with aluminum, vanadium, molybdenum and along with a number of others.

Reactions- burns in pure nitrogen gas to form titanium nitride. It also forms with air to form titanium oxide.

Uses- used in steel as an alloying element to reduce grain size and as a deoxidizer in stainless steel to reduce

carbon content. Titanium is also used with aluminum to also reduce grain size.

Costs- for pure- 661$ per 100g
