Tin has two forms (allotropes) one is "white tin" (beta-tin) which is a metal although some chemists/metrial scientists would call it a "poor metal"- and "grey tin" (alpha-tin), a low temperature form, which has a similar structure to diamond and more covalent in character. So one allotrope is a metal and the other isn't. Probably the answer a school teacher expects is tin is metal.

Is tin a metal or non metal?
metal
Is tin a ferrous or nonferrous metal?

Is tin a metal non metal or a metaliod on the periodic table?
Tin is a metal because it is located under a column containing metals as well as being electrically conductive.
What are the only two non-white metals?
A metal is classified as a ferrous metal if it has steel in it , tip (if a magnet sticks to a metal, it is ferrous) A metal is classified as a non-ferrous metal if it has no steel in it, tip (if a magnet does not stick to a metal, it is non-ferrous) Non-ferrous metals: Brass Copper Nickel Tin Ferrous metals: Steel Iron
Is Tin II Sulfate an ionic compound?
No, an ionic compound is made when you fuse a non metal and a metal together, the metal gives a number of its electrons to the non metal which makes the metal positively charged and the non metal negatively charged. Then the two elements are drown together through electo-static attraction. Copper and tin would make just make a metal alloy:)
What are some physical and chemical characteristics of tin carbon?
Physical: carbon is a non-metal and tin is a metal (both are solids at 25 Celsius) Chemical: carbon and tin both have 4 valence electrons.
Which element behaves chemically as both metal and non metal?
There are four such elements. Namely aluminium, zinc, tin and lead.
Why do tin openers have magnets if tin is non-magnetic?
