Group Number of Titanium (& Uses, Sources ... 2022

As anyone would guess, every atom has a group name assigned, even Titanium. But how do we know what is the group name for an atom of Ti?

First of all, if we know the atom symbol (or name), let's say Ti, we can open any periodic table and search for Titanium. If the periodic table is complete just scroll up and read the number on the top (from 1 to 18).

In the case of Titanium the group number is 4. However there is a lot of funny facts about Titanium that most people don't know. Shall we have a look?

Name Origin

Greek: titanos (Titans).

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

Discovery

Discovered By: William Gregor
Year: 1791
Location: England

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.

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.
