What's Tin-tin's real name?
his name is tiny teddy tin thai
Why is tin named tin?
If you mean How did tin get it's name, then the answer comes from the Latin word stannum, a name for the element tin. (Tin's chemical symbol is Sn, coming from the word stannum) . :P
Where did tin whistle come from?
The tin whistle originated in Europe
What is the abbreviation for tin?
the abbreviations for tin are, Sn, or 50 for number.
What nationality is tin tin?
The creator Hergé was from Belgium and so is Tintin
Why are tin and lead not used as semiconductor?
because they are not semiconductors. They are metals and rather good conductors.
Is tin covalent?
I was thinking about this and I think its neither. I looked up a periodic table and its outer shell configuration is similar to Si and Ge. Therefore why is Tin not a semiconductor? I think its because Tin does metallic bonding, whereas if it was covalent, Tin would be a group 4 semiconductor.

Which grey mineral with metallic lustre is used as a source of tin?
From Wikipedia: " Tin is obtained chiefly from the mineral cassiterite, where it occurs as an oxide....Tin's chemical properties fall between those of metals and non-metals, just as the semiconductors silicon and germanium do. Tin has two allotropes at normal pressure and temperature: gray tin and white tin. A third allotrope, called brittle tin, exists at temperatures above 161 °C. Below 13.2 °C, it exists as gray or alpha tin, which has a cubic crystal structure similar to silicon and germanium. Gray tin has no metallic properties at all, is a dull-gray powdery material, and has few uses, other than a few specialized semiconductor applications." although cassiterite ( an oxide) is the most common source of tin, occaisionally tin is sourced from sulfides such as stannite, a grey mineral with a metallic lustre.
Is copper a conductor and a semiconductor?
