The only sure thing is that every atom has a symbol. But what is the atom whose symbol is Ti?
The answer is Titanium (Ti). However there is a lot of stuff about Titanium that people don't know. Let me walk you through...
Titanium Overview
Atomic Symbol
Ti (Titanium)
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.

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.
Name Origin
Greek: titanos (Titans).
Greek: titanos (Titans).
State at 20 °C
Solid
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.
