Electronic configuration of of Titan
Ti: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d2
Short notation:
Ti: [Ar]4s2 3d2
Same electronic configuration has an atom of Titan and V+1, Mn+3, Fe+4, Co+5, Ni+6
The order of filling the shells with electrons of Titan (Ti): 1s → 2s → 2p → 3s → 3p → 4s → 3d → 4p → 5s → 4d → 5p → 6s → 4f → 5d → 6p → 7s → 5f → 6d → 7p.
On the sub level ‘s’ there might be 2 electrons at most, on ‘p’ - up to 6, on ‘d’ - up to 10 and up to 14 on ‘f’
Titan has 22 electrons, let's fill electronic layers in described order:
2 electrons on 1s-sub level
2 electrons on 2s-sub level
6 electrons on 2p-sub level
2 electrons on 3s-sub level
6 electrons on 3p-sub level
2 electrons on 4s-sub level
2 electrons on 3d-sub level
Oxidation state of Titan
Atoms of Titan in compounds have an oxidation state of 4, 3, 2, 0, -1, -2.
The oxidation state is the conditional charge of an atom in a compound: the bond in a molecule between atoms is based on the sharing of electrons, thus, if the atom’s charge virtually increases, then the oxidation state is negative (electrons carry a negative charge), if the charge decreases, then the oxidation state is positive.

Valence of Ti
Atoms of Titan in compounds have valence IV, III, II, I.
Valence of Titan is an ability of an atom Ti to build chemical bounds. The valence is based on electronic configuration of atom: electrons participated in chemical bounds are known as valence electrons. In general the valence is:
The number of possible chemical bounds with other atoms
The valence has no sign.
Quantum numbers Ti
Quantum numbers are defined by the last electron in configuration, for an atom Ti these numbers are N = 3, L = 2, Ml = -1, Ms = +½

Ionization energy
The closer the electron is to the center of the atom, the more energy is needed to tear it off. The energy spent on removing an electron from an atom is called ionization energy and is designated Eo. Unless otherwise stated, the ionization energy is the energy of removal of the first electron, and there are also ionization energies for each subsequent electron.
Ionization energy of Ti:
Eo = 659 kJ/mol
