A. Ti2O3
B. TiO
C. Ti3O2
D. Ti2O4

Answer 1

it would be A Ti203. :) I hope this helps

Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer is Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Titanium is the 22nd element of the periodic table with electronic configuration of
`1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^2`

In the naming of the compound, the oxidation state of this element is given +3.

Oxygen is the 8th element of the periodic table with electronic configuration
`1s^22s^22p^4`

This element will easily gain 2 electrons and shows an oxidation state of -2.

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of titanium and oxygen gets reversed and they form the coefficients of the compound.

The compound formed by the combination of Titanium(III) and oxygen is
`Ti_2O_3` having chemical name of Titanium (III) oxide.

Thus, the correct answer is Option A.
