1 . (
Chem .)
An elementary substance found as an oxide in the mineral cassiterite ,
and reduced as a soft silvery -
white crystalline metal ,
with a tinge of yellowish -
blue ,
and a high luster .
It is malleable at ordinary temperatures ,
but brittle when heated .
It is softer than gold and can be beaten out into very thin strips called tinfoil .
It is ductile at 2120 ,
when it can be drawn out into wire which is not very tenacious ;
it melts at 4420 ,
and at a higher temperature burns with a brilliant white light .
Air and moisture act on tin very slightly .
The peculiar properties of tin ,
especially its malleability ,
its brilliancy and the slowness with which it rusts make it very serviceable .
With other metals it forms valuable alloys ,
as bronze ,
gun metal ,
bell metal ,
pewter and solder .
It is not easily oxidized in the air ,
and is used chiefly to coat iron to protect it from rusting ,
in the form of tin foil with mercury to form the reflective surface of mirrors ,
and in solder ,
bronze ,
speculum metal ,
and other alloys .
Its compounds are designated as stannous ,
or stannic .
Symbol Sn (
Stannum ).
Atomic weight 117 .
