The chemical element **titanium** is the atomic number 22 with the symbol Ti. It has a silver color, that is very hard but has low density. "It is highly resistant to corrosion in sea water, aqua regia and chlorine." -https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titanium Revised by smegert26



Titanium is light but very strong and hard.

Date of discovery: 1791 Atomic Number: 22 Atomic Radius: 144.8 pm Atomic Symbol: Ti Melting Point: 1668 celsius Atomic Weight: 47.88 Boiling Point: 3287 celsius Appearance: Shiny, dark-gray metal

History
It was first discovered by Reverend William Gregor in an impure form they called “Malachite”. It was later identified by a German chemist, Martin Kloproth. Kloproth named it “Titanium” after the Titans from Greek mythology for their strength. original discoverer: Reverend William Gregor

Titanium is immune to saltwater and resistant to many corrosive agents. Pure Titanium is stronger than steel and 50% lighter. Nettle contains up to 80 parts per million of titanium.

In Cornwall, Great Britain, 1791, a man named William Gregor made the discovery of titanium. Martin Heinrich Klaproth founded the name of titanium from Greek Mythology Titans. It can be mixed with aluminum, iron, and several other elements. Added by smegert26

Titanium makes up about 0.57% of the earth's crust and is classified as a metal titanium is as strong as steel but only 45% of the weight and it costs $661 per 100g titanium is twice as strong as allumnum but 60%of the weight. Titanium - Chemicool and life science
