Cobalt is between iron and nickel on the periodical table and found in only .
001-.002 percent of the earth¹s crust. Cobalt was first found in the Harz
Mountains. People in the silver mines dug up arsenic cobalt ores. Then, because they thought the ores contained copper, heated the ores releasing arsenic trioxides. Cobalt was named after the German kobold. A kobold was said to be an underground goblin or demon. In

    The Element Tin

    • 3 Pages

    Tin is a chemical element with the symbol Sn from the Latin word “stannum.” Its atomic number is 50 and its atomic mass is 118.71. Tin is classified in the 'Other Metals' section which can be located in groups 13, 14, and 15 of the Periodic Table. All of these elements are solid, have a relatively high density and are opaque. This silvery, ductile metal is not easily oxidized in air and resists corrosion. Tin is usually malleable, but when cooled it is very brittle. It is found in many alloys and is used to coat other metals. It can be alloyed with copper to make bronze. Pewter alloys contain about 85% to 99% tin. Tin is obtained from the mineral ore cassiterite, where it occurs as an oxide. It is extracted by roasting cassiterite in a furnace with carbon. Tin makes up only about 0.001% of the earth's crust and is chiefly mined in Malaysia and found in Bolivia, Indonesia, Thailand, and Nigeria. Tin was discovered by the ancients nearly 5500 years ago and was mentioned in the Old Testament. It is one of the earliest metals known and they think it was first mined in South-East England. Because of its hardening effect on copper, tin was used in bronze implements as early as 3,500 BC.…
