Hi there!
So Titanium and Zinc are both transition metals, meaning they simply have varying oxidative states, allowing many possibilities of what can bond with them.

In my experience, Zinc is most often in a +2 ionized state, and is often bond to chlorine to make ZnCl2, a Lucas reagent to classify the class of alcohols. It is often bound to halides (chlorine, bromine) and also oxygen at times (ZnO).

Titanium is often found bond with oxygen as TiO2. Its often found in a +4 oxidized state.

Now "borium" i assume is bohrium? And it really is pretty nonreactive in my understanding...very difficult to oxidize and bond with. If that's what you were looking for!

Yes, we know only a few compounds containing Zn(I).

Sorry, this makes about as much sense as stating "cars are often red". Some are, some are not. There are thousands of Zn compounds, of which one is ZnCl2, there is nothing particularly important about this compound.

Or boron.
