Description
It is a silvery, malleable metal element belonging to the 14th group of the periodic table. There are 26 known isotopes, five of which are radioactive. It is chemically reactive. It reacts directly with chlorine and oxygen and eliminates hydrogen in dilute acids.
Language Of Origin
Old English via Medieval English
Origin Of Word
from English word
Etymological Description
It is derived from one of the Proto-Indo-European languages and has cognates in several Germanic and Celtic languages. Its symbol Sn comes from the Latin stannum.

Sources
It is mostly found in cassiterete (SnO2) and stanine (Cu2FeSnS4) ores.
Uses
Since it is non-toxic and non-corrosive, it is used in the coating of steel cans. It is found in solder (33%Sn:67%Pb), bronze (20%Sn:80%Cu) and lead-tin alloy. Tin fluoride (SnF2), a compound of stannous and fluorine, is used in some toothpastes.
