Properties of Titanium | It forms a protective oxide layer, has excellent strength to weight ratio and commonly exhibits +4 and +3 oxidation states in compounds.
Uses of Titanium | Found in minerals like ilmenite and rutile, titanium is used in aircraft, medical implants, chemical processing equipment and titanium dioxide pigments.
Isotopes of Titanium | Stable isotopes include Ti 46 to Ti 50; titanium metal is non toxic though fine powders can be flammable and require handling controls.
