Although it is the ninth most abundant element, titanium has only begun to serve man; its white dioxide goes into bright paints. The metal itself is used in constructuing supersonic aircraft such as Concorde. <HR> <CENTER><TABLE BORDER=1 CELLPADDING=2 CELLSPACING=2> <TR><TD COLSPAN=2><CENTER><H3><FONT FACE="Arial">Properties</FONT></H3></CENTER></TD></TR> <TR> <TD><A HREF="../reference/glossary.html#atomicnumber" TARGET="_parent">Atomic Number</A>:</TD> <TD>22<BR></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD><A HREF="../reference/glossary.html#atomicweight" TARGET="_parent">Atomic Weight</A>:</TD> <TD>47.88<BR></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD><A HREF="../reference/glossary.html#electronconfiguration" TARGET="_parent">Electron Configuration</A> (at ground state):</TD> <TD>1s<SUP>2</SUP>2s<SUP>2</SUP>2p<SUP>6</SUP>3s<SUP>2</SUP>3p<SUP>6</SUP>3d<SUP>2</SUP>4s<SUP>2</SUP><BR></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD><A HREF="../reference/glossary.html#oxidationstate" TARGET="_parent">Oxidation States</A> (Bold most stable):</TD> <TD>+2, +3, <B>+4</B><BR></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD><A HREF="../reference/glossary.html#boilingpoint" TARGET="_parent">Boiling Point</A> (K):</TD> <TD>3560<BR></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD>Melting Point (K):</TD> <TD>1935<BR></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD><A HREF="../reference/glossary.html#density" TARGET="_parent">Density</A> (at 300K -- g/cm<SUP>3</SUP>):</TD> <TD>4.54<BR></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD>Atomic Volume (at 300K -- cm<SUP>3</SUP>/mol) <TD>10.60<BR></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD>Number of stable <A HREF="../reference/glossary.html#isotopes" TARGET="_parent">isotopes</A>:</TD> <TD>5<BR></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD>Covalent Radius (Å):</TD> <TD>1.32<BR></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD>Atomic Radius (Å):</TD> <TD>1.45<BR></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD>First <A HREF="../reference/glossary.html#ionizationenergy" TARGET="_parent">Ionization Potential</A> (V):</TD> <TD>6.82<BR></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD><A HREF="../reference/glossary.html#electronegativity" TARGET="_parent">Electronegativity</A> (Pauling's):</TD> <TD>1.54<BR></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD><A HREF="../reference/glossary.html#specificheat" TARGET="_parent">Specific Heat</A> Capacity (at 300K -- J g<SUP>-1</SUP> K<SUP>-1</SUP>):</TD> <TD>0.523<BR></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD>Heat of Vaporization (kJ/mol):</TD> <TD>425.2<BR></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD>Heat of Fusion (kJ/mol):</TD> <TD>18.6<BR></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD>Electrical Conductivity (at 293K for polycrystalline material -- 10<SUP>6</SUP> <IMG SRC="../misc/oomega.gif" ALT="(ohms)"><SUP>-1</SUP> cm<SUP>-1</SUP>):</TD> <TD>2.6<BR></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD>Thermal Conductivity (at 300K -- W m<SUP>-1</SUP> K<SUP>-1</SUP>):</TD> <TD>21.9<BR></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD>Crystal Structure:</TD> <TD><IMG SRC="hexagonal.gif" ALIGN=middle> Hexagonal<BR></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD><A HREF="../reference/glossary.html#acid" TARGET="_parent">Acid</A>-<A HREF="../reference/glossary.html#base" TARGET="_parent">Base</A> Properties:</TD> <TD><IMG SRC="amphoteric.gif" ALIGN=middle> <A HREF="../reference/glossary.html#amphotericoxide" TARGET="_parent">Amphoteric</A><BR></TD> </TR> </TABLE></CENTER> <HR> <CENTER> <A HREF="ptbl_bar.map"><IMG SRC="ptbl_bar.gif" ALT="The Periodic Table of the Elements" BORDER=0 WIDTH=579 HEIGHT=49 ISMAP></A> </CENTER> </BODY>
