what is titanium ?give example of metalloid.
Answers
Answer:
silvery-gray light strong metallic element with atomic number 22 obtained from ilmenite and rutile and used especially in alloys, refractory materials, pigments, and medical and dental devices — see Chemical Elements Table.
Explanation:
Metalloid
- Chemical element.
- Boron.
- Semiconductor.

- Selenium.
- Antimony.
- Germanium.
Titanium:-
Titanium(Ti) is a metal light, silvery-grey ,chemical element.Its atomic number is is 22 and atomic weight is 47.9.It belongs to group - 4.
Properties:-
- Strong, lustrous, corrosion-resistant
- Pure titanium is not soluble in water but soluble in concentrated acids.
- It forms a passive but a protective oxide coating as a corrosion resistance when exposed to elevated temperatures in air but at room temperatures it resists tarnishing.
- Main oxidation state is 4+.
- 3+ and 2+ are less stable.
Metalloid:-
A chemical element that has properties that are intermediate to that of a typical metal and a typical non-metal is known as a Metalloid.
Examples:
- Boron
- Arsenic
- Germanium
- Silicon
- Antimony
- Tellurium
Some properties:-
✦ Metalloids are good semi-conductors.
✦ Their reactivity depends on the properties of elements they react with.
✦When they are mixed with metals,they form alloys.
✦They can form glasses.
