Tin (Sn), also known as stannum, is a silvery-white to grey solid metal. It is considered to have a smooth texture and a hardness of 1.5 on the Mohr's scale which is very soft. It is also odorless and inert which is why it is used in many packaging. Robert Boyle did studies on the oxidation of tin in the 1600s.
