What does titanium react with?
Titanium makes a new substance with 14 other elements and chemicals in our lab:
- Titanium + HydrogenTitanium hydride Ti + H₂ → TiH₂ · When heated · Try it
- Titanium + BoronTitanium boride Ti + 2B → TiB₂ · Only in a very hot furnace · Try it
- Titanium + CarbonTitanium carbide Ti + C → TiC · Only in a very hot furnace · Try it
- Titanium + NitrogenTitanium nitride 2Ti + N₂ → 2TiN · Only when heated very strongly · Try it
- Titanium + OxygenTitanium dioxide Ti + O₂ → TiO₂ · When heated · Try it
- Titanium + FluorineTitanium(IV) fluoride Ti + 2F₂ → TiF₄ · At room temperature · Try it
- Titanium + SiliconTitanium silicide Ti + 2Si → TiSi₂ · Only in a very hot furnace · Try it
- Titanium + SulfurTitanium(IV) sulfide Ti + 2S → TiS₂ · When heated · Try it
- Titanium + ChlorineTitanium(IV) chloride Ti + 2Cl₂ → TiCl₄ · When heated · Try it
- Titanium + SeleniumTitanium(IV) selenide Ti + 2Se → TiSe₂ · When heated · Try it
- Titanium + BromineTitanium(IV) bromide Ti + 2Br₂ → TiBr₄ · When heated · Try it
- Titanium + TelluriumTitanium(IV) telluride Ti + 2Te → TiTe₂ · When heated · Try it
- Titanium + IodineTitanium(IV) iodide Ti + 2I₂ → TiI₄ · When heated · Try it
- Titanium + Hydrochloric AcidTitanium(III) chloride + hydrogen gas 2Ti + 6HCl → 2TiCl₃ + 3H₂ · At room temperature · Try it
It also blends into a mixture, like an alloy, with 73 other metals when melted together.
Nothing happens when it's simply mixed with 11 of the others. 21 pairings have never been tried, because not enough atoms have ever existed.
