It is used for fun.
Yes tin in the form of metallic white tin is paramagnetic, the grey form alpha-tin with a covalent diamond like structure is diamagnetic.
Silver nitrate have colourless crystals if it is pure.
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.
180 grams of white tin has a volume of 24.4 cm3, while 180 grams of grey tin has a volume of 32.2 cm3.
eBay it or email them about it
because it oxidizes
You can find it in the Yusei's grey stardust deck
Although it appears in many different colors, it is probably cassiterite, SnO2, the main ore of tin.
Tin can poisoning was from the lead (metal) that used to be used to seal tin cans. It is no longer used.
'Lead' is a dense, metallic element.
ahn-drey~drey as in 'grey' :)
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.
