Tin is a chemical element. It is often obtained from a mineral called cassiterite (SnO2) and is extracted via cooking it in a furnace with carbon. It is often used as a protec â¦ tive coating on top of other metals (ex. tin cans [made from steel]) to protect them from rust.
A compound is a substance in which atoms of different elements are chemically held to one another. A mixture is a substance made by combining two or more different materials in such a way that no chemical reaction occurs.A mixture can usually be separated back into its original components, a compound can not.  The difference is that a compound is a chemically combined  'mixture' (well defined, with one set of properties) and a mixture  is not chemically combined (in a non-defined, variable combination  of compounds and/or elements, all with its own properties:  kerosine/gasoline/naphta, moist/dry air).
