Tin

The element I chose for this paper was Tin. Tin got its name because it is Anglo-Saxon, and the atomic symbol get its name from the Latin root Stannum. https://education.jlab.org/itselemental/ele050.html. What does Tin mean? Tin belongs to the carbon family https://www.britannica.com/science/tin. Tin consists of 50 Protons, 69 Neutrons and 50 electrons. (my citation for where i got this information is the periodic table you gave to us.) The atomic number of tin is 50 because the atomic number is usually the same number of protons. The atomic mass is 118.71 u. I used my knowledge from the recent years in biology and physical science to use the protons and neutrons to determine the atomic mass. Tin is a metal because it is ductile and it is
However, the most common isotope of Tin is 112Sn because it is .97% abundant. https://education.jlab.org/itselemental/iso050.html. The percentage is 112 Sn in nature has not yet been discovered. There are many uses for the element tin, like mentioned before in this paper Tin is used in the making of Bronze, Tin is also used for soda cans. Tin is usually mostly used as a compound because if it was by itself it would not really create anything and you could not really do anything with tin in its simplest purest form because it does not really do anything at

Some health effects of TIn include stomachaches, liver and kidney problems and anemia. https://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/PHS/PHS.asp?id=541&tid=98. There are not really any positive effects of tin, but the negative effects include all of the health effects listed above, You dont get these effects just by drinking out of a soda can but if you were to consume lots of Tin at one time those things could happen to you and your body.
