Isotopes of Tin
By Tashawna Maxwell
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


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
