Identify the elements involved in the compound: titanium (Ti) and oxygen (O).
Recall that titanium dioxide is a compound where titanium is combined with oxygen in a specific ratio.
Understand that the name 'titanium dioxide' indicates there are two oxygen atoms for every one titanium atom.
Write the chemical formula by placing the symbol for titanium (Ti) followed by the symbol for oxygen (O) with a subscript 2 to show two oxygen atoms: \(TiO_2\).
