Is tin a metal non metal or metalloid?

Answer 1

Tin has two forms (allotropes) one is "white tin" (beta-tin) which is a metal although some chemists/metrial scientists would call it a "poor metal"- and "grey tin" (alpha-tin), a low temperature form, which has a similar structure to diamond and more covalent in character. So one allotrope is a metal and the other isn't. Probably the answer a school teacher expects is tin is metal.

Answer 2

Tin is a chemical element with the symbol Sn and atomic number 50. It is classified as a metal on the Periodic Table. Metals are typically shiny, malleable, and good conductors of electricity and heat, all of which tin exhibits. Tin is commonly used in alloys and has properties characteristic of metals, placing it firmly in the metal category.

Answer 3

Oh, dude, tin is a metal. It's like that cool, shiny stuff that's all malleable and conductive. So yeah, it's definitely not a non-metal or a metalloid. Just your regular ol' metal hanging out on the periodic table.

Answer 4

The element tin is a metal. It belongs to group 14 or carbon family

Answer 5
