Symbols and Valency of All Elements
Each element in the periodic table has a symbol and a valency. These symbols are used to represent atomic and molecular formulas and are important for students to learn. Without the use of these symbols, the elements would be too difficult to understand and interpret.
The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom determines its chemical properties. Each element in the periodic table has its own atomic number, and the more atoms an element has, the higher its atomic number.
Tin belongs to Group 14 of the periodic table and has a trivial name tetrels (crystallogènes). The element is sometimes also known by its Latin name stannum, which means “one-one-eight”.
It is a soft, silvery white metal with a bluish tinge, commonly used in bronzes, an alloy with copper. Tin is one of the most abundant metals on Earth.
Unlike some other metals, tin does not easily oxidize in air and water. It is also very malleable and is capable of being cut with little force. It has the ability to form crystals that can be bent easily.
Alloys of tin are commercially important in soft solder, pewter, and bronze. It is also a component of stannous chloride, which is a mordant for dyeing textiles, and stannous fluoride, which is used in some toothpastes.
Tin has ten stable naturally occurring isotopes, the most of any element. These isotopes are often used for research and development purposes. These isotopes have a range of atomic mass numbers from 100 to 134 and are generally available immediately.
