2. Info of Titanium
Atomic Number: 22 Symbol: Ti Atomic Weight: Electron Configuration: 4s23d2 Melting Point: /- 10°C Boiling Point: 3287°C

3. Discovery
Titanium was being discovered in 1791 at England by William Gregor
Named by Klaproth in 1795
Prepared by Nilson and
Petterson in 1887

4. Brief Description
Titanium was being classified as a transition metal. It have a colour of silver and dark gray. It appears to be shiny. Titanium burns in air and it’s the only element that burns in nitrogen. There are 13 known isotopes in titanium. Titanium that is natural includes 5 stable isotopes with a atomic masses, also it is highly radio active upon bombardment with deuterons. Titanium is present most in igneous rocks and sediments derived from them. It is found in coal ash, plants, human body, sun, and meteorites. It occurs in rutile, ilmenite, sphene, and many iron ores and titanates.

6. Hazardous Affects To Humans: Corrosion at eye or skin contact
Breathing problem by titanium dioxide particles with a small size
Lung disease
To the environment and animals:
May affect risk in water which is toxic in water but only in a small organism and are harmful.
Bad air to animals and it may cause also breathing problem.

7. Uses of Titanium
Titanium’s corrosion is useful for ships propellers and rigging
Use in desalination plant
Can used in missiles and rockets where a light weight heat resistant is required

8. Interesting Facts
Titanium is the 9th most abundant element in the earth’s crust
The only element that burns in nitrogen
It’s as strong as steel, but 45% of it is lighter and 60% heavier than alumunium, but it’s twice stronger
The word “Titanium” is from Latin, titans, which means in mythology, the first son of earth
