Selena is learning about how engineers choose metals for spacecraft. She discovers that spacecraft engineers often mix other metals with titanium. Titanium is a metal that is both lightweight and strong. It also resists corrosion. Selena wants to compare titanium with other metals. She looks at the cell from the periodic table that represents titanium. Explain what each of the four items in the cell represents. Then, classify titanium as an alkali, alkali earth, or transition metal.

Ti is a transition metal.

Chemical symbol represent element or compound

The elements are arranged in the periodic system

This is the atomic number of Titanium

The Atomic Number (Z) indicates the number of protons of an element

This is the symbol (chemical formula) of titanium

This is the mass number of Titanium

Mass Number (A) = Number of protons + Number of Neutrons

Atomic Number (Z) = Mass Number (A) - Number of Neutrons

This is the name of the element

To determine which group, alkaline, alkaline earth or transition it can be seen from the electron configuration

alkali and alkali earth : configuration from orbital 1s-7s

transition : configuration from orbital 3d-6d (Block d)

Electron configuration from Ti : [Ar] 3d²4s²

if we look at the configuration, then Ti is in the d block which is included in the transition metal

the answer is d : ) have a good da

heat or electricity in the atmosphere- c.
