On this page I'll provide comprehensive data for Tin. I hope you profit from it.
Tin Overview
Name Origin
Named after Etruscan god, Tinia; symbol from Latin: stannum (tin).
Symbol
Sn (Tin)Description
Silvery-white, soft, malleable and ductile metal.
Discovery
Discovered By: Known to the ancients.
Year: Unknown
Location: Unknown
Sources
Principally found in the ore cassiterite(SnO2) and stannine (Cu2FeSnS4).
Uses
Used as a coating for steel cans since it is nontoxic and noncorrosive. Also in solder (33%Sn:67%Pb), bronze (20%Sn:80%Cu), and pewter. Stannous fluoride (SnF2), a compound of tin and fluorine is used in some toothpaste.
