The chemical element with the symbol Sn is Tin. Tin is a post-transition metal in group 14 of the periodic table. It is known for its malleability, ductility, and resistance to corrosion from water. Tin has been used by humans for thousands of years, primarily in the production of bronze, an alloy of tin and copper.
Tin is also used in the manufacturing of solder, coatings for steel cans, and various other applications. Its symbol, Sn, comes from the Latin word stannum, which was used to describe tin and its alloys in ancient times.
