The atomic number of a chemical element is the number of protons found in the nucleus of the atom of that element.Ok so I'll take you through some interesting facts and data about Tin (That most people don't know).
Tin Overview
Atomic Symbol
Sn (Tin)
Description
Silvery-white, soft, malleable and ductile metal.
State at 20 °C
Solid
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.
