An Introduction Tin Element(Sn)| WorldOfChemicals

Post by bejoy »

The discovery of tin is unknown as the time or the location of discovery was dated long back. Tools or weapons including tin was discovered by human’s years ago in 3,000 BC. Tin is the oldest man-made object that contain tin is the Bronze. Bronze is the element that contains both copper and tin. Historians reveal that tin was extracted for manufacturing and trading in Britain and Spanish Islands where it was found the most. Tin is the 49th most rich element in the earth’s crust, having 2 parts per million compared with 75 parts per million for zinc, 50 parts per million for copper, and 14 parts per million for lead.

Characteristics of Tin.

Tin is a soft and malleable metal.

Ductile and crystalline silvery-white metal.

It melts at low temperature of around 232 °Celsius (450 °Fahrenheit).

There are 2 kinds of allotropes beta-tin the metallic form, or white tin and alpha-tin or grey tin.
White tin or metallic form which is stable at room temperature is malleable.

Grey tin stable below 13.2 °Celsius is brittle.

Grey tin has non-metallic properties because it has covalent structure.

In cold condition, white tin tends to transform into grey tin which is known as “Tin pestâ€.

How many isotopes does Tin have?

Tin has 10 stable isotopes. Tin, with its three common isotopes 116Sn, 118Sn and 120Sn, is among the easiest elements to detect analyze by NMR spectroscopy. NMR spectroscopy is a research methodology that explores on magnetic properties of the atomic nuclei. This study helps in determining the physical and chemical properties of the atoms or
