Lead and tin are good conductors, as are all metals. That is a result of the metallic bond, in which the constituent atoms in a piece of metal share their electrons with each other in the form of a cloud of electrons, all of which can move very freely and are not attached to any particular atom or region.
mixture of tin and lead, and nothing will happen. If tin atom reacts with lead atom, none of the atoms will oxidise even if they are heated. because reaction will only occur when a metal react with acid and so on.
Solder melts before pure tin or pure lead because the molecules of the tin and the lead which make up the solder have not bonded chemically (they have only been mixed together so there has been not chemical reaction), so can easily vibrate quicker, therefore they will melt quicker.
Good conductors are materials that allow heat to flow through them easily. Therefore, good conductors are also good for heat transfer. This is because the free electrons in good conductors can move quickly and transfer thermal energy efficiently.
Good thermal conductivity in power cables helps dissipate heat generated during operation, preventing overheating that can lead to damage or malfunction. Efficient heat transfer also helps maintain the cable's performance and prolong its lifespan.
Lead is a good conductor. Conductor Lead is a metal and it will conduct electricity. A pencil lead is made of graphite, a type of soft carbon. This is a non-metal, but it does conduct electricity. Conduct
Tin foil is a metal and metals are generally good conductors of heat, so i would have to say yes. Hope this helps T.M.M :-)

Aluminium, iron (steel), zinc. Early tin cans were soldered closed - so that includes lead as an answer. this is not a good answer
The atomic number of tin is 50 and the atomic number of lead is 82. The atomic number tells the number of protons in the nucleus, so lead has more protons.
Lead. The densities of lead and tin are 11.34 g/cm^3 and ~7 g/cm^3, respectively. Lead solder is an alloy made of mostly lead and tin; a mixture of lead and tin will weigh less than 100% lead. Lead-free solders are made of tin, copper, silver, indium, bismuth, zinc, antimony, and other metals; none of these metals is heavier than lead. So, lead is the champion.
Solder melts before pure tin or pure lead because the molecules of the tin and the lead which make up the solder have not bonded chemically (they have only been mixed together so there has been not chemical reaction), so can easily vibrate quicker, therefore they will melt quicker.
Increased costs of copper, lead, tin, and increased demand.
No. Non-metals are very poor conductors, and with the exception of Neon, so are the gaseous elements.
Tin and Lead are both metals with oxidation numbers of 2+ and 4+, so the two equations for Lead (Pb) are 2Pb + O2 ---> 2PbO and Pb + O2 ---> PbO2 The equations for Tin (Sn) look the same ... just substitute Sn where you see Pb.

Tinning is a process of coating leads or other component parts with solder before making a soldered joint. It is done to ensure that the surfaces to be joined will have a good adhesion to the solder to ensure a robust and secure joint. If leads are not tinned before hand, there is a risk of a dry joint - a joint that might appear to be good but in fact does not have solder in intimate contact with the component. Most dry joints have an appearance that exposes the fault but not all do. The term tinning is used as tin is a component of solder (traditional solder is a mix of tin and lead). Tinning now usually means applying solder as described above but it can also mean applying a coating of tin without lead. Using pure tin is rarely if ever used today. Worldwide there is a move to eliminate lead from electronic assemblies and so tin/lead solder is being replaced. Tin is still used but mixed with copper, silver, zing and other more exotic metals. The process of tinning still takes place even with the new lead free solders.
