1. Isotopes of Tin By Tashawna Maxwell

2. Isotopes: Ten of Tin An isotope is defined as each of two or more froms of the same elements that contains equal numbers of protons but different numbers of neutrons in the nuclei Tin is the only element with ten stable isotopes Tin has no natural radioactive isotopes, but has many artificial radioactive isotopes Tin is a part of the Carbon family Tin is a silvery/white metalic looking metal

3. More About Tin universe abundance | 4×10^-7% (rank: 48th) crust abundance | 2.2×10^-4% (rank: 47th) human abundance | 2×10^-5% (rank: 25th) symbol | Sn atomic number | 50 electron configuration | [Kr]5s^24d^105p^2 block | p group | 14 period | 5 atomic weight | 118.710

4. Isotopes: Stable vs Radioactive A stable isotope maintains constant concentrtion on Earth overtime Various stable isotopes of tin have practical uses and commercial applications A radioactive isotope is an isotopes that when broken a part, gives off some form radiation The radioactive isotopes of tin do not have any practical uses

5. Stable Tin vs. Radioactive Tin Stable Some Radioactive Isotopes Sn-112Sn-118 Sn-114Sn-119 Sn-115Sn-120 Sn-116Sn-122 Sn-117Sn-124 Sn-99 Sn-100Sn-101Sn-102Sn-103Sn-104 Sn-105Sn-106Sn-107Sn-108Sn-109Sn-110 Sn-111Sn-113Sn-115Sn-117Sn-119 Sn- 121m Sn-123Sn-125Sn-126Sn-127Sn-128Sn-129 Sn-132Sn-133Sn-134Sn-135Sn-136Sn-137

6. Uses of Tin Tin Foil (now aluminum foil) Solder (largest use of tin in the US) Tin Toys (autombiles, trains, ect in early 1800s) Used in the production of other alloys (ex. Bronze) Tinplating Tin food cans (made of steel and covered in tin) Used in the production of tin compounds More uses of tin can be found here: http://www.americanelements.com/sn.html
