Best Answer

Tin is a silver coloured metal, and is ductile and malleable. Tin is corrosion resistant, and native tin (the pure metal) is found. Though its surface may bear a tarnish.

It has a low melting point, 232oC, which is low enough to be accessible to simple engineering. Alloyed with copper it makes bronze, and alloyed with lead, it makes solder. Both current needs.

Tin plate is commonly used to protect steel from corrosion, and is non poisonous.

In older times, tin was used to make ornaments.

In modern scientific equipment, water distillation apparatus will be tin-coated if high quality, contaminant free water is needed.
