All metals Conduct:
Tin, steel, iron, copper, aluminum, zinc and all other metals conduct electricity very well compared to most other compounds. (These pure metals conduct, but when they are used to form compounds, the result may of may not conduct electricity.)
Why metals conduct:
With the discoveries in solid state physics of the 20th century we learned that metals are collections of atoms which have somewhat unusually properties of the electrons. In metals the outermost electron (sometimes two) is not specifically associated with that one atom but is free to associate with atoms far and wide. We say these are delocalized electrons. Since the electrons are not attached to specific atoms, it takes very little energy to move them. As a result, any small voltage causes electron flow in a metal.
This movement or flow of electrons is called electricity so this is why metals conduct electricity.
Aside: Metals are not the only materials that conduct electricity, they just do it especially well.

∙ 11y agoYes, tin foil is conductive. It can transmit electricity and is often used in various electrical applications. However, it is not as effective a conductor as other metals like copper or aluminum.

∙ 9y agoTin can be used as a cathode and iron as an anode in a redox reaction. In this reaction, the iron will be oxidized.

∙ 9y agoTin is a conductor. It conducts heat very well because it is a metal. Metals are very good conductors.

∙ 10y agoTin itself is a neutral element and therefore neither a cation nor an anion. But tin generally forms cations in its compounds.

∙ 14y agoTin is a conductor, for both electricity and heat, but it's not that great.

∙ 14y agoTin is a neutral atom. Under the appropriate conditions tin can loose electrons to form positively charged ions called cations (usually either +2 or +4).

Tin Foil Phoenix was created in 1997.
To make a tin foil lightning bolt, cut out a shape of a lightning bolt from a sheet of tin foil. You can use scissors to carefully cut out the shape. Be sure to be gentle when handling the tin foil to prevent tearing.
I'm guessing that there would not be tin foil in heaven.It's unlikely, since the metals mentioned are far more precious and beautiful than tin foil.
Tin foil is made from thin sheets of aluminum that are processed through a rolling mill to reduce their thickness. The aluminum is then slit into thin strips and coiled to create the final product, which is often referred to as aluminum foil. The term "tin foil" is a misnomer, as modern foil is made from aluminum, not tin.
The number of pennies a tin foil boat can carry will vary depending on the size of the boat, the thickness of the tin foil, and how well it is constructed. On average, a small tin foil boat can typically hold a few dozen pennies before sinking.
Tin foil... tin Aluminum foil... aluminum :)
Tin is more conductive. Lead is used to ease application.
The "inside" of tin foil is the dull side. The "outside" of tin foil is the shiny side.

No, tin foil is not magnetic. Tin foil is made of aluminum, which is not a magnetic material. Magnetism is a property of certain materials like iron, nickel, and cobalt.
Yes, tin foil is made of metal. It is an alloy of aluminum and tin, with aluminum being the primary component.
Tin cans, tin foil...

When someone uses the term tin foil, that person is almost always talking about aluminum foil. Tin foil is an old term, and it has carried into the present where it is frequently used to mean aluminum or kitchen foil. Bon appétit!

Tin foil
because tin foil is less dense then water so it makes it float!!!!
