Tin has been used since ancient times, likely discovered by early civilizations independently. Its discovery cannot be attributed to a single individual or specific year. Archaeological evidence suggests tin was used as early as 3000 BCE.
Tin can poisoning was from the lead (metal) that used to be used to seal tin cans. It is no longer used.
Tin is commonly used in the production of solder, which is used in electronics to join metal components. It is also used to coat other metals to prevent corrosion, and in the manufacturing of tin cans for food packaging. Additionally, tin compounds are used in the production of various chemicals and as catalysts in industrial processes.

Tin has been used since ancient times, with evidence of its use dating back to around 3000 BC. It was likely discovered even earlier than that, but the exact year of its discovery is unknown.
Tin carbonate is used for a number of things. It is commonly used to make metal alloys, making glass and soldering iron among others.
Tin is a great metal, and has a great resistance to corrosion. It is sometimes found in the native state! It is a shiny white metal, and alloyed with copper makes bronze. Tributyl tin is used as an anti-fouling paint for yacht hulls, but in this form it is lethal to much oceanic life. Probably the biggest uses for tin, are to coat steel cans with a fine coat of tin; and combined with lead it is used as solder.
Tin is used to make bronze and pewter, both were used in the Medieval period.
Tin chloride or stannous chloride is a very simple compound containing two elements, tin, and chlorine. Because of their oxidation state it would have two chlorine atoms for each tin atom in the molecule (formula SnCl2)
such a stupid question.
