When tin bonds to the oxalate polyatomic ion, it does so as tin(II), so the compound is correctly written as tin(II) oxalate, or stannous oxalate, using the old-fashioned nomenclature. Its chemical formula is SnC2O4. Tin has 2 valence electrons, and the oxalate poly needs 2 electrons, so they combine is a 1:1 ratio.
