Periodic Table: Classifications — Which element is commonly used to make white paint because it forms the white pigment titanium dioxide (TiO2)?
A
Neon (Ne)
B
Bromine (Br)
C
Sodium (Na)
D
Titanium (Ti)
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the question is asking which element is commonly used to make white paint due to its ability to form the white pigment titanium dioxide (TiO2).
Recall that titanium dioxide (TiO2) is a compound made from the element titanium (Ti) combined with oxygen.
Recognize that titanium dioxide is widely used as a white pigment because of its brightness and high refractive index, making it ideal for paint.
Review the options given: Neon (Ne) is a noble gas and does not form pigments; Bromine (Br) is a halogen and not used for white pigments; Sodium (Na) is a metal but not related to TiO2.
Conclude that the element titanium (Ti) is the correct choice because it forms titanium dioxide, the white pigment used in paint.
