compound discovery assignment

a picture of tin oxide

my element: TIN (Sn)

tin oxide

tin chloride

the two compounds I found are: Tin oxide  and Tin chloride. Tin oxide is used as ceramic glaze and was found by a man of the Golinski. Tin chloride does not have a name to its discoverer but it is used in oxidizing materials, and some liquid mixtures and also is used in glass. tin chloride is also used in cosmetic products. I personally like this one better because I use cosmetics enough and now I know what goes in them. 🙂 Tin has a variety of uses and has been used for thousands of years; it was even mentioned in the old testament!
