Not very. This strong, tough metal resists corrosion extremely well. It doesn't want to react with very much.

∙ 14y agoAbout Tin (Sn) 's reactivity, it depends on how you look at it. Tin on the reactivity series is between iron and lead. However it reacts slowly. In the activity series it is between nickel and lead, and produces hydrogen when reacted with acids.
Hopes this helps. Than again. it may be wrong for I am just a student.

∙ 11y agoIn terms of the reactive scale the reactive scale it is 6th from the bottom but it isnt a very reactive metal witch is why it can be used for holding luiquids and other objects
Wiki User
∙ 9y agoYes, tin is more reactive than iron. Tin is more reactive because it is higher up on the list of metals containing more ion.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agono it not. because on the electro-reactivity scale iron comes first.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoTin is nonreactive. Certain copper pots are lined with tin to prevent reaction, making tin nonreactive.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoTin is highly reactive.

Is iron more reactive than sulfur?
Yes, iron is more reactive than calcium as iron is a metal and generally metals are more reactive than non-metals and calcium is a non-metal.
Which of the following would be classified as a metalloid aluminum or copper or tin or silicon?
Silicon is a metalloid.
Which element has a similar behavior of silicon and lead?
carbon, silicon, germanium, tin, and lead.
How abundant is tin?
Less than 5%. Surprisingly, oxygen and silicon make up close to 75% of the lithosphere (crust).
Does tin react with iron sulphate?
Yes, tin will react with sulphuric acid as it is reactive enough. Metals which are higher than hydrogen in the reactivity series will react with sulphuric acid.
Is nickel more reactive than tin?
no
Is tin more reactive to silver?
Tin is more reactive.
Is indium reactive?
It is as reactive as indium. Just kidding, it is reactive. Hoe reactive, more reactive than silver, but not as reactive as tin.
What is more reactive than tin?
B. Calcium C. Aluminum
Why aren't cans made of pure tin?
Food cans are coated with tin instead of zinc because zinc is more reactive than tin. Tin is only reactive to powerful acids such as tri-sodium phosphate while zinc can be reactive to something like tomatoes.
Are there three metals which are more reactive than tin?
Yes Iron, Steel and alloy
What metal is more reactive than lead but less reactive than zinc?
In between these two, there are nickel, tin lead and hydrogen.They all are more reactive than copper but less reactive than iron.For your convenience, here is the reactive series of elements in order of decreasing reactivity:-Potassiumsodiumbariumcalciummagnesiumaluminiummanganesezincironnickeltinleadhydrogencoppermercurysilvergoldplatinum
Is Tin Reactive or no?
Tin is highly reactive.
What are the Metals more reactive than hydrogen?
sodium, calcium, magnesium, aluminium, zinc, iron, tin and led are metals more reactive than hydrogen.
Is iron more reactive than sulfur?
Yes, iron is more reactive than calcium as iron is a metal and generally metals are more reactive than non-metals and calcium is a non-metal.
Why are food cans plated in tin but not zinc?
because it not infected and non-perishable
What elements are in the carbon family other than silicon?
germanium, tin, and lead
