what is the melting point of tin?

Tin (Sn, atomic number 50) is a silvery metal with a low melting point and a resistance to corrosion. It is an important element, and is used in many applications including solders, pipes, bearing alloys, glass making, and in a wide range of tin chemical compounds.

The melting point of tin is 232degC. This temperature is the point at which tin can melt when a solid object is heated and its particles start to vibrate. It is also the temperature at which the atoms of a solid are dislodged from their neighbors and begin to invade space around them.

At room temperature, tin is completely unaffected by water or oxygen, and it does not react with acids, which makes it suitable as a coating to protect other metals from corrosion. At higher temperatures, however, tin oxide forms when it reacts with both water and oxygen; this reaction is slowed by weak acids like hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid.

The melting point of tin can be calculated by using the equation, which states that the melting point is the maximum temperature at which a solid will melt when it is subjected to an applied force. When the melting point of a solid is known, it can be used as a temperature fixed point in a computer model, and in nuclear reactors.
