Which statement accurately describes atoms of tin

• Tin atoms have 50 protons.

• Tin atoms have five valence electrons.

• Tin atoms have 119 neutrons.

• Tin atoms have 68 electrons.

Answer explanation

Tin (Sn) has an atomic number of 50, which means the number of protons is also 50 (A=P=E).

On the periodic table, Tin (Sn) is in Group 14, which means it has 4 valence electrons.

Tin (Sn) is also in Period 5, which means it has 5 energy shells.
