The principal mineral of tin is cassiterite (SnO2).
Tin! Tin! Its what food comes in!When you need to win, remember tin!"Don't like tin? Can it!""Don't like tin? Snap it!"tin - do you really trust alluminum?

No.
No, but it's a big-time source of iron.
it's found on asteroids in the middle east
Tin is an element, but its source is an ore from which it has to be refined.
Tin is an element so technically the scientific name for tin is tin.AnswerThe Latin name for tin is stannum, from which words such as stannous, for salts of tin, is derived, as is the scientific abbreviation for tin, Sn. There is some conjecture that stannum was derived from the Cornish stean, since the West Country region of Great Britain was an early source of tin ore.
Although it appears in many different colors, it is probably cassiterite, SnO2, the main ore of tin.
The name "tin" comes from the Old English word "tin," which is derived from the Latin word "stannum." The Latin word "stannum" may have originated from a pre-Indo-European source.
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.

That is Tin (II) Chloride. Sn is Tin and the suffix for Chlorine is nearly always Chloride. The (II) means the Tin [in a hypothetical situation where the compound was purely ionic] has an oxidation state of 2, or +2, (ie deficient of two electrons) Source: A2 Chemistry Student.
Cassiterite is the main ore of Tin.
Many companies need more tin today due to the increasing demand for consumer electronics and renewable energy technologies, which rely on tin for soldering and plating. Additionally, new regulations on conflict minerals have pushed companies to source tin from more transparent and ethical supply chains.
