2022: ☢️ Electron Affinity of Titanium (Ti) [& Color, Uses, Discovery ...

In chemistry, the electron affinity of an atom of Titanium is defined as the amount of energy released or spent when an electron is added to a neutral atom in the gaseous state to form a negative ion. But what is the electron affinity of an atom of Ti?

In the case of Titanium the electron affinity is 7.6 kilojoules per mole.  There are a lot of cool facts about Titanium that most people don't know. Check this...

Titanium Facts

Titanium Electron Affinity

7.6 kilojoules per mole

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.

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.

Ti

Name Origin

Greek: titanos (Titans).

Citation

When you need to include a fact or piece of information in an assignment or essay you should also include where and how you found that piece of information.

That gives credibility to your paper and it is sometimes required in higher education.

To make your life (and citation) easier just copy & paste the information below into your assignment or essay:

Luz, Gelson. "Electron Affinity of Titanium (Ti) [& Color, Uses, Discovery ..." Materials. Gelsonluz.com. dd mmmm. yyyy. <URL>

Now replace dd, mmmm and yyyy with the day, month, and year you browsed this page. Also replace URL for the actual url of this page (The < and > stay, ok?). This citation format is based on MLA.
