Question

Is ${\mathrm{TiO}}_2$ Metallic And Ferromagnetic?

Answer 1

${\mathbf{TiO}}_{\mathbf{2}}$ is an Alkaline metal and the chemical formula for the compound is titanium dioxide.

1. Titanium dioxide is a divalent, alkaline metal.
2. It is safe and it is non-toxic.
3. ${\mathbf{TiO}}_{\mathbf{2}}$ is not ferromagnetic because ${\mathbf{TiO}}_{\mathbf{2}}$has no unpaired electrons$\mathbf{Ti}$.
4. It cannot be paramagnetic.

Alkaline metal: Generally, the term "base" describes the basic or alkaline nature of their metal hydroxides. Substances are known as alkali metals because generally when they interact with water, they produce alkalis, which are the only powerful bases capable of neutralizing acids quickly.

1. A comparable [noble gas] ns¹ electronic configuration exists for alkali metals.
2. On the periodic table, they are located in the first column, Sodium (Na), Lithium (Li), Potassium (K), Rubidium (Ru), Cesium (Cs), and Francium (Fr) are base elements that occupy the first to seventh periods in the sequence.

Hence, ${\mathbf{TiO}}_{\mathbf{2}}$ is Alkaline metal.
