titanium By Bridie S. Period 2 Basic facts on titanium Symbol: Ti Atomic Number: 22 Atomic Mass: 47.867 Titanium is a metal. State at room temperature: Solid Color: Silver Family/Group #: Transition metal in group 4 5949º Fahrenheit 3287º Celsius Boiling Point Melting and boiling point Melting Point 1670º Celsius 3038º Fahrenheit 1943 Kelvin 3560 Kelvin The Discovery of titanium Who: William Gregor Year: 1791 Where: Cornwall, England Origin Origin of name: Titanium’s name comes from the Greek word Titans. In Greek mythology the Titans had great strength and power, and were the sons of the earth goddess. Obtaining Titanium Found in the earth’s crust, titanium is the world’s ninth most abundant element. It is mainly found in minerals including, rutile, sphene, and ilmenite. uses Since titanium is lightweight but strong, titanium is used in airplanes, missiles and rockets. It is also used in boats because it doesn’t corrode easily, artificial hips, laptops, golf clubs, sunscreen, and much more. Properties Physical: Hard, shiny, strong, light, high melting point, ductile, malleable when heated, low electricity, and thermal conductivity. Chemical: Resistant to corrosion and low reactivity at solid state. Although element, rocks on Titanium titanium is the earth’s ninth most abundant in 2011, scientists discovered titanium rich the moon. makes up about 1 percent of the earth’s crust.
