My favorite elements

Hey lets talk about titanium. titanium  is a chemical element with the symbol Ti and atomic number 22. It has a low density and is a strong, lustrous, corrosion-resistant (including sea water, aqua Riga and chlorine) transition metal with a silver color.Titanium was discovered in Cornwall, Great Britain, by William Gregor in 1791 and named by Martin Heinrich Klaproth for the Titans of Greek mythology.It is found in almost living things like rocks, water bodies, and soils.The metal is extracted. The atomic weight is 47.867.
Melting Point: 1941 K (1668°C or 3034°
Boiling Point: 3560 K (3287°C or 5949°Density: 4.5 grams per cubic centimeter. Phase at Room Temperature: Solid .Element Classification: Metal.
Period Number: 4    Group Number: 4    Group Name: none .
From the Greek word Titans, the mythological "first sons of the Earth".
Titanium is a strong, light metal. It is as strong as steel and twice as strong as aluminum, but is 45% lighter than steel and only 60% heavier than aluminum. Titanium is not easily corroded by sea water and is used in propeller shafts, rigging and other parts of boats that are exposed to sea water.

Titanium and titanium alloys are used in airplanes, missiles and rockets where strength, low weight and resistance to high temperatures are important. Since titanium does not react within the human body, it is used to create artificial hips, pins for setting bones and for other biological implants. Unfortunately, the high cost of titanium has limited its widespread use. those are examples of titanium. My other element was oxygen.

  1. Anijah!! So, not bad for your 3rd blog but you were supposed to do 4 elements. Anyways there was a lot of info but it sounded like you copied and pasted it(I'm not saying that you did) but I just don't think you normally talk like that. Good job on the links:)
