Why is tin called SN?
Can you explain to me why tin is commonly referred to by the symbol "SN" in the realm of chemistry and materials science? I'm intrigued to know if there's a historical reason behind this designation, or if it stems from a particular property of tin that makes this symbol apt. Is there any significance to the choice of "SN" over other potential abbreviations? Understanding the rationale behind this nomenclature would greatly enrich my knowledge of chemical elements and their symbolic representations.
