Tin

** Lexi Chicles(: Tin** [Kr]5S2.4D10.5P2 atomic number: 50 atomic mass: 118.69 **Objective** I would like to coat other metals to prevent corrosion. I would like a job that works with canning foods or working with glass. My ideal position would be head engineer in metals and alloys. I used to have trouble bending and molding because when I was bent I tended to shriek and scream while doing it but now I am not difficult when it comes to the physical adjustments. **Professional Achievements** I was awarded the Noble Element Prize for my hard work in the glass factories and confident performance.

I have been used for over 5500 years

I am primarily obtained from the mineral cassiterite and I am 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.

I was an alloying agent that is important to other alloys. They include soft solder, type metal, fusible metal, pewter, bronze, bell metal, babbitt metal, white metal, die casting alloy, and phosphor bronze.

I have 10 stable isotopes.

I have a high crystalline structure.

I can be found in Cassiterite deposits, most common in bolivia, Indonesia, Zaire, Thailand, Nigeria, and China, and not uncommon in California and Alaska. In Cassiterite, I am naturally in the form of Stannic Oxide.

Comes from a Latin root. **Skills**

Tin resists distilled, sea, and soft tap water, but is easily corroded by strong acids, alkalis, and acid salts.

I can be used to coat other metals to prevent corrosion or other chemical action.

I aid in the processing of window glass. Window glass is produced using the Pilkington Process, which involved floating molten glass on me to produce a flat pane surface.

My salts can be sprayed onto glass to produce electrically conductive coatings. These salt treated panes can be used for panel lighting and for frost-free wind-shields. **References**

Indium, Antimony, and I all work extremely well together. They are all in the same period and in the same periodic category. All 3 are metals and are consecutive with each other. Indium works in the same factory as me but in the department that specializes in coating high speed bearings, transistors, rectifiers, thermistors, and photoconductors. We worked really well together in the factory and without one another, our jobs would not run as smoothly as we would like. Antimony is widely used in alloying to increase hardness and mechanical strength. We also work extremely well because without him, the machines and the tools I use would not be able to endure the hard hours of labor and the grueling toughness of the job.

Germanium, Lead and I also get along fairly well. Not only are they in the same category of other metals, but they are also in the same group. Because they are in the same group, they share the same amount of valence electrons and they share the same urges to find and take other valence electrons until they have a full outer shell. We don't have the same jobs but we have all been long time friends. We have a lot of old memories together. The three of us went on a road trip because Lead has the best car batteries, and we were able to make it across the periodic table in one sitting. We had a great time listening to the music that Germanium was playing. It sounded so good because he is used in electric guitar amplifiers and it sounded like we were at a rock concert. These are two of my best friends and they have seen me at my best and worst. They even helped me marry my wife, Silicon, and now we have a complete outer shell. What more can an element ask for!
