Question Explanation:

Finding the oxidation state of titanium from its magnetic moment.

Concept: Spin-Only Magnetic Moment.

$\mathrm{m}=1.73$ i.e. one unpaired electron, Ti (E.C.) $=[\mathrm{Ar}{]}^{18}3{\mathrm{d}}^2,4{\mathrm{s}}^2$, so it will lose three electrons to have one unpaired electron and thus the oxidation state of titanium is +3

Final Answer: +3 .
