Density-dependent nuclear symmetry energy is directly related to isospin asymmetry for finite and infinite nuclear systems. It is critical to determine the coefficients of symmetry energy and their related observables because they hold great importance in different areas of nuclear physics, such as the analysis of the structure of ground state exotic nuclei and neutron star studies. The ground state bulk properties of Scandium (Z = 21) and Titanium (Z = 22) nuclei are calculated, such as their nuclear binding energy (B.E. ), quadrupole deformation (beta(2)), two-neutron separation energy (S-2n), differential variation in the two-neutron separation energy (dS(2n)), and root-mean-square charge radius (r(ch)). The isospin properties, namely the coefficient of nuclear symmetry energy and its components, such as the surface and volume symmetry energy of a finite isotopic chain, from the corresponding quantities of infinite nuclear matter, are also estimated. Finally, we correlate the neutron-skin thickness with the coefficient of symmetry energy and the related observables corresponding to the isotopic chains of these nuclei. The coherent density fluctuation model (CDFM) is used to estimate the isospin-dependent properties of finite nuclei, such as symmetry energy, surface symmetry energy, and volume symmetry energy, from their corresponding component in infinite nuclear matter. The relativistic mean-field (RMF) formalism with non-linear NL3 and relativistic-Hartree-Bogoliubov theory with density-dependent DD-ME2 interaction parameters are employed in the analysis. The weight function vertical bar F (x)vertical bar(2) is estimated using the total density of each nucleus, which in turn is used with the nuclear matter quantities to obtain the effective symmetry energy and its components in finite nuclei. We calculate the ground state bulk properties, such as nuclear binding energy, quadrupole deformation, two-neutron separation energy, differential variation in the two-neutron separation energy, and root-mean-square charge radius, for the Sc- and Ti- isotopic chains using the non-linear NL3 and density-dependent DD-ME2 parameter sets. Furthermore, the ground state density distributions are used within the CDFM to obtain the effective surface properties, such as symmetry energy and its components, namely volume and surface symmetry energy, for both the parameter sets. The calculated quantities are used to understand the isospin dependent structural properties of finite nuclei near and beyond the drip line, which broadens the scope of discovering new magicity along the isotopic chains. A shape transition is observed from spherical to prolate near N >= 44 and N >= 40 for the Sc- and Ti- isotopic chains, respectively. Notable signatures of shell and/or sub-shell closures are found for the magic neutron numbers N = 20 and 28 for both isotopic chains using the nuclear bulk and isospin quantities. In addition to these, a few shell/sub-shell closure signatures are observed near the drip-line region at N = 34 and 50 by following the surface/isospin dependent observables, namely symmetry energy and its component, for both the isotopic chain of odd-A Sc- and even-even Ti- nuclei.
