Science Research
Tin is a part of the carbon family
Physical properties: silver white and metallic looking solid. Gives off a screeching sound when bent
-ductile, malleable, durable, soft, non -combustibleChemical properties: Not affected by water or oxygen at room temperature. At a higher temperature, with oxygen it forms tin oxide. Tin does not rust, corrode, or react in any way.Non-magneticLusterHardness: 2 gypsumSlide4
History Behind Tin
