Ti 4+ is more stable than ti3+ or ti2 give reason
Answers
Explanation:
Titanium has the electron configuration of [Ar]3d2 4s2
Experiments have demonstrated that it can form a +3 and +4 oxidation state, so it can lose 3 or 4 electrons to form ions.
The +4 state is the most common and stable, because it is able to form an octet. The +3 state is less stable (more reactive) because it leaves a single d electron in the valence orbital. Ti(+3) is a good reducing agent, because it is oxidized to lose that last electron and form Ti(4+)

Explanation:
The electronic configuration of Ti is:- [Ar] 3d2 4s2
Ti3+ :- 3d1 4s0
Ti4+ :- 3d0 4s0
As Ti4+ has vacant d-orbitals and it acquires nearest noble gas configuration on loss of 4e-.
On the other hand, Ti3+ doesn't have vacant d-orbitals. Thus, for this reason, Ti4+ is more stable than Ti3+.
