Chemical reactions of the elements Reaction of titanium with air Titanium metal is coated with an oxide layer that usually renders it inactive. However once titanium starts to burn in air it burns with a spectacular white flame to form titanium dioxide, TiO2 and titanium nitride, TiN. Titanium metal even burns in pure nitrogen to form titanium nitride. Ti(s) + O2(g) TiO2(s) 2Ti(s) + N2(g) TiN(s) Reaction of titanium with water Titanium metal is coated with an oxide layer that usually renders it inactive. However, titanium will react with steam form the dioxide, titanium(IV) oxide, TiO2, and hydrogen, H2. Ti(s) + 2H2O(g) TiO2(s) + 2H2(g) Reaction of titanium with the halogens Titanium does react with the halogens upon warming to form titanium(IV) halides. The reaction with fluorine requires heating to 200°C. So, titanium reacts with fluorine, F2, chlorine, Cl2, bromine, I2, and iodine, I2, to form respectively titanium(IV) bromide, TiF, titanium(IV) chloride, TiCl, titanium(IV) bromide, TiBr, and titanium(IV) iodide,...
