titanium pipe fittings stub end a very low electrical and thermal conductivity
Pure titanium is almost 99.2% pure and is a lustrous metal with low density and high corrosion resistance.
It reduces water vapor to sulfur dioxide and hydrogen, and reacts with hot concentrated acid in a similar manner, although it forms trichloride with hydrochloric acid. The metal absorbs hydrogen to produce TiH2, and forms the nitride TiN and carbide TiC. Titanium complexes have an octahedral coordination geometry, but a notable exception here is TiCl4. This compound, called titanium tetrachloride, has a tetrahedral geometry. This geometry is due to a higher degree of covalent bonding due to the high oxidation state of titanium tetrachloride. Among transition metals only, titanium is known to form aqueous Ti(IV) complexes: water-ligand titanium complexes.
