Titanium is a lustrous, white metal.[1] In the Periodic Table, its symbol is Ti and its atomic number is 22. Titanium metal has low density and good strength. It is also easily fabricated and it resists corrosion well. Titanium burns in the air and it is actually the only element that burns in nitrogen. Titanium is present in meteorites, the sun, and lunar rocks.[2]
