Description :  Shiny, dark-gray metal. Ninth most abundant element in the earth\'s crust (5700 ppm). It can be highly polished, and is relatively immune to tarnishing.
Uses :  Since it is strong and resists acids it is used in many alloys. Titanium dioxide (TiO2), a white pigment that covers surfaces very well, is used in paint, rubber, paper and many others.
