- Isotopes of tin - Wikipedia
Tin (50 Sn) is the element with the greatest number of naturally abundant isotopes, 10 Seven, 114-120 Sn, are theoretically stable, while the remaining three, 112 Sn, 122 Sn, and 124 Sn, are potentially radioactive to double beta decay, but have not been observed to decay
- White tin - Wikipedia
White tin is refined metallic tin It contrasts with black tin, which is unrefined tin ore (cassiterite) as extracted from the ground The term "white tin" was historically associated with tin mining in Devon and Cornwall where it was smelted from black tin in blowing houses
