In the single {ital j} shell approximation, only the isovector amplitudes of electron-nucleus or proton-nucleus scattering contribute to the excitation of 1{sup +} states from the {ital J}=0{sup +} targets of even-even nuclei, provided the excitation is a one-step process. However, when configuration mixing is put in, one also obtains contributions from isoscalar amplitudes, which are here studied for various nuclei in the {ital f}-{ital p} shell{endash}{sup 44}Ti, {sup 46}Ti, {sup 48}Ti and {sup 50}Cr. A comparison of the {ital cross}-{ital conjugate} pairs {sup 46}Ti and {sup 50}Cr is made. The decomposition of the electron-nucleus scattering into an orbital and spin part is made. The isoscalar effects are small and are unable to explain the discrepancies between the experimental analysis and the shell model calculations with regards to the variation of the orbit to spin ratio for various nuclei. However, there is probably hidden orbital strength in a state in {sup 50}Cr for which the spin and orbit excitation amplitudes interfere destructively.
