Titanium


We just learned about the element of Sulfur

Another chemical element is Titanium, called "Ti" for short on the Periodic Table.

Titanium is a very hard metal, that is not very heavy.
Because of this it is very good for use in things like spaceships that need to be very light.

It is not magnetic, and does not carry heat or electricity very well.

(from: wikipedia - titanium)

The scientist who discovered titanium named it after the old Greek stories of Titans who were giants with great strength.
