Titanium

Jevon Reeves **Titanium ,TI 22**

Atomic number: 22

Symbol: N/A

Number of electrons:8

Electron configuration:[Ar]4s2-3d2

Physical traits:Titanium is a strong metal with low density. It has a metalic White color

Chem traits: The most noted chemical property of titanium is its excellent resistance to corrosion; it is almost as resistant as platinum. Titanium burns in air when heated to 1,200 °C (2,190 °F). Titanium is resistant to dilute sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid, along with chlorine gas, chloride solutions, and most organic acids. It is also paramagnetic which means its weakly attracted to magnets and has low electrical and thermal conductivity.

Titanium was discovered in 1791 by amateur geologist William Gregor when he realized that black sand was attracted to a magenet.
