Titanium History

The element Titanium was discovered by William Gregor in year 1791 in United Kingdom . Titanium derived its name from Titans, the sons of the Earth goddess of Greek mythology

Crystal Structure of Titanium

The solid state structure of Titanium is Simple Hexagonal.

The Crystal structure can be described in terms of its unit Cell. The unit Cells repeats itself in three dimensional space to form the structure.

Unit Cell Parameters

The unit cell is represented in terms of its lattice parameters, which are the lengths of the cell edges Lattice Constants (a, b and c)

a	b	c
295.08	295.08	468.55 pm

and the angles between them Lattice Angles (alpha, beta and gamma).

alpha	beta	gamma
π/2	π/2	2 π/3

The positions of the atoms inside the unit cell are described by the set of atomic positions ( x_i, y_i, z_i) measured from a reference lattice point.

The symmetry properties of the crystal are described by the concept of space groups. All possible symmetric arrangements of particles in three-dimensional space are described by the 230 space groups (219 distinct types, or 230 if chiral copies are considered distinct.

Titanium Atomic and Orbital Properties

Ground State Electronic Configuration of Titanium - neutral Titanium atom

The ground state electronic configuration of Neutral Titanium atom is [Ar] 3d2 4s2. The portion of Titanium configuration that is equivalent to the noble gas of the preceding period, is abbreviated as [Ar]. For atoms with many electrons, this notation can become lengthy and so an abbreviated notation is used.This is important as it is the Valence electrons 3d2 4s2, electrons in the outermost shell that determine the chemical properties of the element.
