[|Atomic number-50]
==== [|Electron Configuration- 1s 2 2s22p63s23p64s23d104p65s24d105p2] ====

The Bohr model

Valence electrons-Gain 4, or Lose 2

Characteristics- tendency to form crystals in the solid metal.

Reactions- Does NOT react w/ mild acids or normal constituents of the air making it able to be a coating for cheaper metals.

More reactive than germanium which is above Tin in the periodic table. Tin reacts with Oxygen to form tin dioxide.

Tin also reacts with water to form Tin dioxide and hydrogen

It’s easy to spot when Tin is coating other elements because large crystals form on the surface.

Found in Cassiterite (SnO2)

Tin can mostly be found in the following places; Malaya, Bolivia, Indonesia, Zaire, Thailand, and Nigeria. (the U.S doesn’t really produce much).

Isotopes-9 (18unstable isotopes are also known)

[|Tin is malleable and some what ductile, and has a highly crystalline structure.]
