Tin is a post-transition metal in group 14 of the periodic table of elements. It is obtained chiefly from the mineral cassiterite, which contains stannic oxide, SnO 2. Tin shows a chemical similarity to both of its neighbors in group 14, germanium and lead, and has two main oxidation states, +2 and the slightly more stable +4.
From left to right: three alloys (beryllium copper, Inconel, steel) and three pure metals (titanium, aluminum, magnesium)An alloy is a mixture of chemical elements of which in most cases at least one is a metallic element, although it is also sometimes used for mixtures of elements; herein only metallic alloys are described.

For example, the common aluminium foils and beverage cans are alloys of 92% to 99% aluminium. [154] The main alloying agents are copper , zinc , magnesium , manganese , and silicon (e.g., duralumin ) with the levels of other metals in a few percent by weight. [ 155 ]
An alloy may have a variable or fixed composition. For example, gold and silver form an alloy in which the proportions of gold or silver can be varied; titanium and silicon form an alloy TiSi 2 in which the ratio of the two components is fixed (also known as an intermetallic compound [34] [35]).
Copper, silver, and gold are in group 11 of the periodic table; ... The alloy of 90% copper and 10% nickel, remarkable for its resistance to corrosion, ...
It is a hard, brittle, bluish-white transition metal in the platinum group that is found as a trace element in alloys, mostly in platinum ores. Osmium is the densest naturally occurring element. When experimentally measured using X-ray crystallography, it has a density of 22.59 g/cm 3. [11]
