Tin
28 definitions retrieved  Tin \Tin\, n. [As. tin; akin to D. tin, G. zinn, OHG. zin, Icel. & Dan. tin, Sw. tenn; of unknown origin.] 1. (Chem.) An elementary substance found as an oxide in the mineral cassiterite, and reduced as a soft silvery-white crystalline metal, with a tinge of yellowish-blue, and a high luster. It is malleable at ordinary temperatures, but brittle when heated. It is softer than gold and can be beaten out into very thin strips called tinfoil. It is ductile at 2120, when it can be drawn out into wire which is not very tenacious; it melts at 4420, and at a higher temperature burns with a brilliant white light. Air and moisture act on tin very slightly. The peculiar properties of tin, especially its malleability, its brilliancy and the slowness with which it rusts make it very serviceable. With other metals it forms valuable alloys, as bronze, gun metal, bell metal, pewter and solder. It is not easily oxidized in the air, and is used chiefly to coat iron to protect it from rusting, in the form of tin foil with mercury to form the reflective surface of mirrors, and in solder, bronze, speculum metal, and other alloys. Its compounds are designated as stannous, or stannic. Symbol Sn (Stannum). Atomic weight 117.4. [1913 Webster] 2. Thin plates of iron covered with tin; tin plate. [1913 Webster] 3. Money. [Cant] --Beaconsfield. [1913 Webster] Block tin (Metal.), commercial tin, cast into blocks, and partially refined, but containing small quantities of various impurities, as copper, lead, iron, arsenic, etc.; solid tin as distinguished from tin plate; -- called also bar tin. Butter of tin. (Old Chem.) See Fuming liquor of Libavius, under Fuming. Grain tin. (Metal.) See under Grain. Salt of tin (Dyeing), stannous chloride, especially so called when used as a mordant. Stream tin. See under Stream. Tin cry (Chem.), the peculiar creaking noise made when a bar of tin is bent. It is produced by the grating of the crystal granules on each other. Tin foil, tin reduced to a thin leaf. Tin frame (Mining), a kind of buddle used in washing tin ore. Tin liquor, Tin mordant (Dyeing), stannous chloride, used as a mordant in dyeing and calico printing. Tin penny, a customary duty in England, formerly paid to tithingmen for liberty to dig in tin mines. [Obs.] --Bailey. Tin plate, thin sheet iron coated with tin. Tin pyrites. See Stannite. [1913 Webster] Tin \Tin\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. Tinned; p. pr. & vb. n. Tinning.] To cover with tin or tinned iron, or to overlay with tin foil. [1913 Webster] Azotine \Az"o*tine\, n. Also -tin \-tin\ . [Azote + -ine.] 1. An explosive consisting of sodium nitrate, charcoal, sulphur, and petroleum. [Webster 1913 Suppl.] 2. same as 1st Ammonite, 2. [Webster 1913 Suppl.]  tin n 1: a silvery malleable metallic element that resists corrosion; used in many alloys and to coat other metals to prevent corrosion; obtained chiefly from cassiterite where it occurs as tin oxide [syn: tin, Sn, {atomic number 50}] 2: a vessel (box, can, pan, etc.) made of tinplate and used mainly in baking 3: metal container for storing dry foods such as tea or flour [syn: canister, cannister, tin] 4: airtight sealed metal container for food or drink or paint etc. [syn: can, tin, tin can] v 1: plate with tin 2: preserve in a can or tin; "tinned foods are not very tasty" [syn: can, tin, put up] 3: prepare (a metal) for soldering or brazing by applying a thin layer of solder to the surface  tin Symbol: Sn Atomic number: 50 Atomic weight: 118.69 Silvery malleable metallic element belonging to group 14 of the periodic table. Twenty-six isotopes are known, five of which are radioactive. Chemically reactive. Combines directly with chlorine and oxygen and displaces hydrogen from dilute acids.  Tin Heb. bedil (Num. 31:22; Ezek. 22:18, 20), a metal well known in ancient times. It is the general opinion that the Phoenicians of Tyre and Sidon obtained their supplies of tin from the British Isles. In Ezek. 27:12 it is said to have been brought from Tarshish, which was probably a commercial emporium supplied with commodities from other places. In Isa. 1:25 the word so rendered is generally understood of lead, the alloy with which the silver had become mixed (ver. 22). The fire of the Babylonish Captivity would be the means of purging out the idolatrous alloy that had corrupted the people.  tin tin  tin [tain] Dose; Konserve; Konservenbüchse; Zinn; Zinnblechbüchse  tin [tain] fer‐blanc; tôle étain  tin bádog- bádog bádogbólkészült bádogbólvaló bádogdoboz bádogedény bádogkanna cin- cin cinbôlvaló dohány fehérbádog fonalszárítóhenger konzerv konzervdoboz nehézátcsapat pénz sütôforma átcsapatcsatorna ón- ón ónbólkészült ónbólvaló  tin [tain] stÚn  tin latta stagno tin latta  tin [tain] blikken blik; dunne metaalplaat blik; blikje; bus; trommel; trommeltje tinnen tin  tin [tain] folha, lata, folha de lata, lámina de metal, lâmina de metal lata, caixa de lata de estanho estanho  tin [tain] банка  tin [tain] hojalata lata estaño  tin [tain] tenn  tin [tin] Zinn  tin [tin] tin  tin [tin] étain  psyche 1. insan ruhu, tin 2. can 3. akıl.  tin [Br.] Dose f; Blechdose f tin Konserve f tin [Br.] Konservenbüchse f; Konservendose f; Blechbüchse f; Zinnblechbüchse f; Dose f; Büchse f tin verzinnen tin Zinn n [chem.]  115 Moby Thesaurus words for "tin": affected, apocryphal, artificial, assumed, aureate, bag, barrel, basket, bastard, bogus, bottle, box, box up, brass, brassy, brazen, bronze, bronzy, brummagem, can, capsule, carton, case, cask, colorable, colored, copper, coppery, counterfeit, counterfeited, crate, cupreous, cuprous, distorted, do up, dressed up, dummy, embellished, embroidered, encase, encyst, ersatz, factitious, fake, faked, falsified, feigned, ferrous, ferruginous, fictitious, fictive, garbled, gilt, gold, gold-filled, gold-plated, golden, hamper, illegitimate, imitation, iron, ironlike, jar, junky, lead, leaden, make-believe, man-made, mercurial, mercurous, mock, nickel, nickelic, nickeline, pack, package, parcel, perverted, pewter, pewtery, phony, pinchbeck, pot, pretended, pseudo, put up, put-on, quasi, queer, quicksilver, sack, self-styled, sham, shoddy, silver, silver-plated, silvery, simulated, so-called, soi-disant, spurious, steel, steely, supposititious, synthetic, tank, tinny, tinsel, titivated, twisted, unauthentic, ungenuine, unnatural, unreal, warped Tin related |
