All atoms have an atomic number. But what is the chemical element that has 22 as atomic number?

The answer is Titanium and there is so much cool stuff about Titanium that people don't know that I would keep reading if I were you.

Alright now to the facts!

Shiny, dark-gray metal. Ninth most abundant element in the earth's crust (5700 ppm). It can be highly polished, and is relatively immune to tarnishing.

Atomic Symbol

Ti (Titanium)

Discovery

Discovered By: William Gregor

Year: 1791

Location: England

Solid

Sources

Usually occurs in the minerals ilmenite (FeTiO3) or rutile (TiO2). Also in Titaniferous magnetite, titanite (CaTiSiO5), and iron ores. Pure metal produced by heating TiO2 with C and Cl2 to produce TiCl4 then heated with Mg gas in Ar atmosphere.

Uses

Since it is strong and resists acids it is used in many alloys. Titanium dioxide (TiO2), a white pigment that covers surfaces very well, is used in paint, rubber, paper and many others.
