Properties of TiO₂:
2.1 Physical properties:
State: TiO₂ generally appears as a fine powder, odorless.
Color: White.
PH level: Neutral.
2.2 Chemical properties: TiO₂ is a non-toxic substance, does not react with water, extremely durable and can withstand strong acids and bases.

Common chemical equations:
TiO₂ does not easily participate in common chemical reactions.

Preparation of TiO₂:
4.1 Laboratory preparation: Typically, TiO₂ is not prepared in the laboratory due to the difficulty and expense of the process.
4.2 Industrial preparation: TiO₂ is commonly produced from ilmenite or rutile ores through a process involving solids or gases. This process includes several complex steps and requires strict control of temperature and pressure.
