Every atom has an atomic number, even Titanium. But what is an "Atomic Number"?
The atomic number of a chemical element is the number of protons found in the nucleus of the atom of that element.Ok so I'll take you through some interesting facts and data about Titanium (That most people don't know).
Titanium Overview
Atomic Symbol
Ti (Titanium)
Description
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.
State at 20 °C
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.
