What is the chemical properties of tin 197.156.118.254 (talk) 03:09, 2 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Clarity needed in "Isotopes" section

The second paragraph of the Isotopes section talks about ¹⁰⁰Sn having a doubly magic nucleus, then in the next phrase it says that it has a "very uneven neutron-proton ratio" which is obviously incorrect; since tin is element 50 it would have 50 protons in its nucleus, and an isotope at 100 amu would thus also have 50 neutrons, making the ratio 1:1 (which is about as even as you can get). The other isotope referenced, ¹³²Sn, would certainly have an uneven ratio, and the following portion of the sentence states that 100 and 132 are the endpoints above/below which isotopes are much more unstable, but I'm not sure how to reword this to keep the relevant information and get rid of the contradictory information.

Add pronunciation of this element.

Not necessary, it is phonemically trivial (/ˈtɪn/). –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 14:54, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Multiple links to The Color of Art Pigment Database

The reason for this is that the site helpfully makes it possible for a link to take the person directly to the pigment in question. I think that this is more efficient, versus having fewer links to the site in the Pigments section. 107.77.209.172 (talk) 19:25, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request

Can someone add “for the compound, see titanium nitride” below “stannum redirects here” 24.55.33.220 (talk) 02:41, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Rasnaboy (talk) 04:05, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
