Here are some interesting facts from my undergrad: - Titanium does not react with alkalis and does not dissolve in mineral acids at room temperature. - Titanium can onlt be dissolved using hot hydrochloric acid forming Ti(III) and hydrogen gas, also hot HNO3 will oxidize the metal to hydrous TiO2. - Titanium will react with most non metals like C, O2, N2 and halogens at high temperatures to form TiC, TiO2, TiN and TiX4 (Where X = halogen). - Titanium exhibits only +4, +3, +2 and 0 oxidation states (+4 being most stable and 0 being very rare) - Titanium does form TiH2 with H2 but there are stoichiometric issues with this one. - Tetrahalide compounds of titanium like TiCl4, TiBr4 and TiI4 act as Lewis acids making them important catalysts. These react violently with water, releasing H2 gas. - Take a look at the ingredients of sunscreen and tell what you see? Titanium dioxide. This is because the crystals of titanium dioxide have a high refractive index (scatters incident light extremely strongly) There are numerous sources out there, be sure to check out google book search, wikipedia and internet sources. Hope this gets the ball rolling.
