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 (Sn) was first used as an alloying element with copper to form bronze, which is much more easily castable than copper and enabled the creation of more complex castings. It is a soft metal with a shiny silver color, and is very corrosion resistant in air and water.
