On the periodic table of elements, what is the symbol for Tin?

The symbol for tin on the periodic table is Sn, which comes from the Latin word "stannum." This symbol was given to tin due to its historical association with ancient metallurgy practices. "Stannum" was used by the Romans to refer to a tin alloy, and it eventually became the name for the element itself. As a result, the symbol Sn was adopted globally to represent tin in scientific literature and on the periodic table, maintaining its connection to its Latin heritage.
