Titanium
(Ti)
Titanium! This is one awesome element!
Titanium is one of the most important elements we know of today. Why? Not only is its silvery-white color pleasing to the eye, but it's the ninth most commonly occurring element on the earth's crust, making it very useful for humans today.

Titanium: Uses and Purposes!
1. Propeller Shafts
2. Titanium dioxide (titania) is what 95% of titanium production is in the form of. Titania is an intensely white pigment with a strong light absorption. This form of Titanium is in the following:
a. white paint
b. food coloring
c. toothpaste
d. plastics
e. sunscreen
3. Airplanes
4. Parts of boats that are exposed to seawater
5. Missiles
6. Rockets
7. Drill bits
8. Bicycles
9. Golf clubs
10. Watches
11. Laptop computers
12. Joint replacement implants

Titanium's discovery!
Titanium was discovered by William Gregor of Cornwell, England in 1791. He found black, magnetic sand in a stream that was in the parish of Mannacan in Cornwall, England. This sand was very similar to gunpowder and contained titanium.

Physical Properties:
Titanium is a silvery white transition metal. It is hard, but light, and becomes malleable when heated. It is a solid in its natural form.

Why I picked Titanium...
I picked Titanium because I love the song "Titanium" by David Guetta featuring Sia.
Importance: Titanium is important because it is very strong, so it is much more efficient. It is also the ninth most occurring element in the earth's crust, making it a very plentiful element. Last, the human body can not break down Titanium, which makes it very important when making joint replacement implants.

Fun Facts:
1. William Gregor discovered Titanium, but a man by the name of Martin Heinrich Klaproth named Titanium in the year 1795.
2. The human body can not break down titanium, so it used in hip replacements and other joint replacements.
3. Titanium is 60% heavier, but two times stronger than aluminum.
4. Titanium is 45% lighter than steel, but just as strong!
5. Titanium was named after the Titans!
6. Titanium is the ninth most abundant element in the earth's crust.
7. Titanium is the only element that will burn in an atmosphere of pure nitrogen.
