Hello, guys.

I am taking 200 level MSE course now. The one of the topic was the Kroger Vinky notation which my textbook doesn't have any examples. The professor explained it with 3 ppt slides shortly. Then he gave us a HW.

Q) If TiO2 is exposed to reducing atmospheres at elevated temp. some of the Ti4+ ions will become Ti3+ ions, Provide the Kroger Vinky notation.


There should be a vacancy since the Ti earns 1e-, right? Then what should I do next?

Please help me out.
