Ti is the symbol for which chemical element, whose atomic number is 22?

Titanium is a strong metal that appears on the periodic table with the symbol 'Ti' and the atomic number 22. It contains 22 electrons and 22 protons and gets its name from the immortal Titans in Greek mythology. Titanium was discovered in 1791 by the British clergyman William Gregor (1761-1817).

Titanium can combine with other chemicals to make different alloys or materials. When titanium mixes with oxygen, for example, it forms titanium dioxide (TiO2), a white pigment that is often used to make things less transparent, brighter, or rougher. It is safe to use in foods and products suitable for human consumption, e.g. toothpaste, because it does not react with chemicals inside the human body.

Titanium alloys are often used in aerospace engineering to produce both strong and light parts of aeroplanes. Engineers also use steel and aluminium, but titanium alloys are more suitable because of their light weight. This means that titanium parts can be thinner and lighter, while still withstanding the same forces. It also does not corrode in most conditions, even when exposed to seawater or chlorine. Unfortunately, titanium has to be handled with care because it can burn at high temperatures, and like many metal powders, titanium dust is extremely flammable.
