Ti Atomic Number

This is a list of the 118 chemical elements which have been identified as of 2021. A chemical element, often simply called an element, is a species of atoms which all have the same number of protons in their atomic nuclei (i.e., the same atomic number, or Z). A popular visualization of all 118 elements is the periodic table of the elements, a convenient tabular arrangement of the elements. Group 4 is the second group of transition metals in the periodic table. It contains the four elements titanium (Ti), zirconium (Zr), hafnium (Hf), and rutherfordium (Rf). The group is also called the titanium group or titanium family after its lightest member.

How To Find Atomic Number

What's in a name? From the Greek word Titans, the mythological 'first sons of the Earth.'

Say what? Titanium is pronounced as tie-TAY-nee-em.

History and Uses:

Titanium was discovered in 1791 by the Reverend William Gregor, an English pastor. Pure titanium was first produced by Matthew A. Hunter, an American metallurgist, in 1910. Titanium is the ninth most abundant element in the earth's crust and is primarily found in the minerals rutile (TiO₂), ilmenite (FeTiO₃) and sphene (CaTiSiO₅). Titanium makes up about 0.57% of the earth's crust.

Titanium is a strong, light metal. It is as strong as steel and twice as strong as aluminum, but is 45% lighter than steel and only 60% heavier than aluminum. Titanium is not easily corroded by sea water and is used in propeller shafts, rigging and other parts of boats that are exposed to sea water. Titanium and titanium alloys are used in airplanes, missiles and rockets where strength, low weight and resistance to high temperatures are important. Since titanium does not react within the human body, it is used to create artificial hips, pins for setting bones and for other biological implants. Unfortunately, the high cost of titanium has limited its widespread use.

Titanium oxide (TiO₂) is used as a pigment to create white paint and accounts for the largest use of the element. Pure titanium oxide is relatively clear and is used to create titania, an artificial gemstone. Titanium tetrachloride (TiCl₄), another titanium compound, has been used to make smoke screens.

A final bit of titanium trivia -- titanium is one of the few elements that will burn in an atmosphere of pure nitrogen.
