Tin is a chemical element. It is often obtained from a mineral called cassiterite (SnO2) and is extracted via cooking it in a furnace with carbon. It is often used as a protec â¦ tive coating on top of other metals (ex. tin cans [made from steel]) to protect them from rust.
Tin is a chemical element with the symbol Sn (for Latin: stannum) and atomic number 50. It is a main group metal in group 14 of the periodic table.Tin shows a chemical similarity to both neighboring group-14 elements, germanium and lead, and has two possible oxidation states, +2 and the slightly more stable +4.in is a malleable, ductile and highly crystalline silvery-white metal. When a bar of tin is bent, a crackling sound known as the tin cry can be heard due to the twinning of the crystals. Tin melts at a low temperature of about 232 Â°C (450 Â°F), which is further reduced to 177.3 Â°C (351.1 Â°F) for 11 nm particles.
