White tin is the normal form of the metal and has many uses. Unfortunately, white tin will turn into gray tin if its temperature falls below 13.2Â°C.

Tin cans are probably the most familiar example of this application. A tin can is actually made from steel.
Metals. The uses of metals are related to their properties: They are made into jewellery due to their hard and shiny appearance. They are used to make pans, since they are good conductors of heat. They are used in electrical cables, because they are malleable, ductile and good conductors of electricity. They are strong so used to build scaffolding and bridges. They make a ringing sound, sonorous, hence their use in bell making. Non-metals.
