Tin has a melting point below 300 degrees. Is that considered as high or low. Because tin has metallic bonds and metallic bonds have high melting and boiling points. I am confused..please help me?

Tin has two forms :-
[a] silv. met. tet. melting point 231.85 degree C and has boiling point as 2260 degree C.
[b] gray, eb. melting point 322 degree C and has boiling point as 2260 degree C.
Tin can be alloyed with copper, zinc etc. depending upon the engineering properties.
Added:
Not all of the metals have high melting points (mp.):
- Mercury mp. -39 0C is liquid at room temperature (boiling at 357 0C)
- Gallium mp. 30 0C
- Indium mp. 156 0C
- Tin mp. 232 0C
- Bismuth mp. 271 0C
- Cadmium mp. 321 0C
- Lead mp. 328 0C
- Zinc mp. 420 0C
(One of the highest is of Wolfram mp. 3407 0C)

Why can't and alcohol thermometer be used to measure the boiling point of water?
Because the boiling point of alcohol is lower than the boiling point of water.
Why does sulfur dioxide have low boiling point?
It has a low boiling point because it has weak intermolecular forces in its covalent bonds
Why does sulfur hexafluoride have a low boiling point?
because my anus is bleeding
Why does ammonia have an unusually high boiling point?
Because of its hydrogen bonding.
What are the melting and boiling points for BeH2?
It doesnt have a boiling pont because i was searching for it...so i clicked here and felt like typing it..so yea..(:
Why transition metals have high boiling point?
Because the metallic bonds between their particles are very strong.
The stronger metallic bonds are they have more what?
The stronger metallic bonds have higher melting and boiling points.
What is the boiling point of a metallic bond?
Unfortunately I cannot answer your question. Something You Should Know: EVERY SINGLE BOILING POINT DOES DEPEND ON MOLECULAR BONDING; BUT THE BOILING POINT DEPENDS ON THE COMPOUND AS A WHOLE. HOW MANY METALLIC BONDS ARE THERE? WHAT KIND OF METAL IS INVOLVED? HOW IS THE BOND SITUATED AMONG THE REST OF THE BONDS? IS THE METALLIC BOND A HIGHER PRIORITY THAN OTHER BONDS? WHAT OTHER ELEMENTS ARE INVOLVED IN THE COMPOUND?
Why is boiling of water considered a phyiscal change?
Because physical state of water is changed from liquid to vapour.
Why is boiling water considered a physical change?
Because it physically changes from a liquid state to a gaseous state.
Why does iron have a higher boiling point than water?
Metals have metallic bonds, water has a covalent bond.
Why has magnesium got a high boilign point?
The high boiling point of Magnesium is due to the metallic bonding.
What are the typical physical properties of substances that have metallic ionic and covalent bonds?
Metallic: melting point @ 63, boiling point @ 760, properties: soft, silvery, solid, and conductor as a solid. Covalent: melting point @ -101, boiling point @ -34.6, properties: greenish yellow gas and not a good conductor.
What are two physical properties of metallic aluminum?
I suppose that you think to purity and particles dimension.
Why do metallically bonded compounds have high melting and boiling points?
Metallically bonded compounds have high melting and boiling points due to the strength of their bonds. Metallic bonds are very strong and therefore take a lot of energy to break, which could be heat. This is why lots of heat energy is needed to break down each individual metallic bond
Is boiling eggs chemical or physical change?
The egg actually turns solid inside, so that is a physical change. If the egg turned into a liquid or gas after boiling it then that would be considered "chemical change"
What is the definition of Kettle?
A metallic vessel, with a wide mouth, often without a cover, used for heating and boiling water or other liguids.
