titanium (il) sulfate
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the Chemical Formula
The given chemical formula is \(\mathrm{TiS}_{2}\).
Step 2: Determine the Oxidation State of Titanium
In \(\mathrm{TiS}_{2}\), sulfur typically has an oxidation state of \(-2\). Since there are two sulfur atoms, the total oxidation state contributed by sulfur is \(2 \times (-2) = -4\).
Step 3: Balance the Oxidation State
To balance the \(-4\) charge from sulfur, titanium must have an oxidation state of \(+4\). Therefore, the compound is titanium(IV) sulfide.
