Question

Which element has the Ti?
A.Tin
B.Lead
C.Titanium
D.Thallium
E.Technetium

Answer 1

Hint: We know that, the first scientist who used symbols for elements was Dalton. After that, following the suggestion of Berzillius, symbols of elements were made from one or two letters of the name of the element.

Complete step by step answer:
Here, we have to identify the element whose symbol is Ti. Let’s discuss all the options one by one.

Option A is tin. We know tin is the element whose atomic number is 50 and the symbol is ‘Sn’. Therefore, option A is incorrect.

Option B is lead. We know that lead is the element whose atomic number is 82 and symbol is ‘Pb’. Therefore, option B is incorrect.

Option C is titanium. Titanium is the element whose atomic number is 22 and symbol is ‘Ti’.

Option D is Thallium. Thallium is the element whose atomic number is 81 and symbol is ‘Tl’. Therefore, option B is incorrect.

Option E is Technetium. Technetium is the element whose atomic number is 43 and symbol is ‘Tc’. So, option D is incorrect.

Therefore, ‘Ti’ is the symbol of titanium

So, the correct answer is Option C .

Note:
In the beginning, the name given to elements was derived from the place where the element is found. For example, the name of copper is taken from Cyprus. Some other elements were named on the basis of their colour, such as gold was taken from English word meaning yellow
Nowadays, the approval for names of elements is done by IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry). The symbols of elements are generally the first one or two letters taken from the element’s English name. First letter of the symbol is always in uppercase and the second letter is in lowercase, such as, Na (sodium), Ti (Titanium) etc.
