Tin is a chemical element with the symbol Sn and atomic number 50.
It is a main group metal in group 14 of the Periodic Table. Tin shows chemical similarity to both neighboring group 14 elements, germanium and lead, like the two possible oxidation states +2 and +4. Tin is the 49th most abundant element and has, with 10 isotopes, the largest number of stable isotopes in the periodic table. Tin is obtained chiefly from the mieral cassiterite, where it occurs as tin dioxide, SnO2.
This silvery, malleable poor metal is not easily oxidized in air, and is used to coat other metals to prevent corrosion. The first alloy used in large scale since 3000 BC was bronze, an alloy of tin and copper. After 600 BC pure metallic tin was produced. Pewter, which is an alloy of 85 % to 90 % tin with the remainder commonly consisting of copper, antimony and lead, was used for flatware from the Bronze Age until the 20th century. In modern times tin is used in many alloys, most notably tin/lead soft solders, typically containing 60% or more of tin. Another large application for tin is corrosion-resistant tin plating of steel. Due to its low toxicity, tin-plated metal is also used for food packaging, giving the name to tin cans, which are made mostly out of aluminum or tin-plated steel.
What else can I help you with?
You can find me in the carbon family in the fifth period?
You are talking about the element nitrogen (N). It is part of the carbon family or group 15 on the periodic table and located in the fifth period.
Are tin and antimony in the same group?
No. They are in groups 14 and 15 respectively. They are both in the same period.
Are carbon silicon germanium tin lead in the same period?
Yes, carbon, silicon, germanium, tin, and lead are all elements that belong to the same period on the periodic table, specifically, Period 4. They have similar outer electron configurations due to being in the same period, but each successive element down the group adds an extra electron shell.
Which element is located in the s block period 4 and group 1?
On the periodic table group 4A is carbon, silicon, germanium, tin and lead. (aka "The Carbon Group")
What is the element in the fourth period whose atoms have the same number of electrons in their highest energy levels at that tins do?
The element in the fourth period with atoms that have the same number of electrons in their highest energy level as tin is germanium. Both tin and germanium are in the same group (Group 14) of the periodic table, so they have the same number of valence electrons.
What element is found in group 14 and period 5?
Tin
What family does tin and neon belong in?
Tin belongs to group 14, carbon family, period 5. Neon belongs to group 18, noble gases, period 2.
You can find me in the carbon family in the fifth period?
You are talking about the element nitrogen (N). It is part of the carbon family or group 15 on the periodic table and located in the fifth period.
What sign is tin on the periodic table?
