Mostly hydrogen. There is a little bit of helium and heavier elements in there as well.

in the periodic table that has the symbol Sn (L. Stannum) and atomic number 50. This silvery, malleable poor metal that is not easily oxidized in air and resists corrosion is found in many alloys and is used to coat other metals to prevent corrosion. Tin is obtained chiefly from the mineral cassiterite, where it occurs as an oxide.\nNotable characteristics\n\nTin is a malleable, ductile, highly crystalline, silvery-white metal whose crystal structure causes a strange crackling sound known as the "tin cry" when a bar of tin is bent (caused by crystals breaking). This metal resists corrosion from distilled, sea and soft tap water, but can be attacked by strong acids, alkalis, and by acid salts. Tin acts as a catalyst when oxygen is in solution and helps accelerate chemical attack.\n\nTin forms the dioxide SnO2 when it is heated in the presence of air. SnO2, in turn, is feebly acidic and forms stannate (SnO3-2) salts with basic oxides. Tin can be highly polished and is used as a protective coat for other metals in order to prevent corrosion or other chemical action. This metal combines directly with chlorine and oxygen and displaces hydrogen from dilute acids. Tin is malleable at ordinary temperatures but is brittle when it is heated.\n\n\nAllotropes\n\nSolid tin has two allotropes at normal pressure. At low temperatures it exists as gray or alpha tin, which has a cubic crystal structure similar to silicon and germanium. When warmed above 13.2 °C it changes into white or beta tin, which is metallic and has a tetragonal structure. It slowly changes back to the gray form when cooled, which is called the tin pest or tin disease. However, this transformation is affected by impurities such as aluminium and zinc and can be prevented from occurring through the addition of antimony or bismuth.\n\n\nApplications\n\nTin bonds readily to iron, and has been used for coating lead or zinc and steel to prevent corrosion. Tin-plated steel containers are widely used for food preservation, and this forms a large part of the market for metallic tin. Speakers of British English call them "tins"; Americans call them "cans". One thus-derived use of the slang term "tinnie" or "tinny" means "can of beer". The tin whistle is so called because it was first mass-produced in tin-plated steel.\n\nOther uses:\n\n    * Some important tin alloys are: bronze, bell metal, Babbitt metal, die casting alloy, pewter, phosphor bronze, soft solder, and White metal.\n    * The most important salt formed is tin chloride, which has found use as a reducing agent and as a mordant in the calico printing process. Electrically conductive coatings are produced when tin salts are sprayed onto glass. These coatings have been used in panel lighting and in the production of frost-free windshields.\n    * Window glass is most often made via floating molten glass on top of molten tin (creating float glass) in order to make a flat surface (this is called the "Pilkington process").\n    * Tin is one of the two basic elements used since the Rennaisance in the manufacture of organ pipes (the other being lead). The amount of tin in the pipe defines the pipe's tone, tin being the most tonally resonant of all metals.\n    * Tin is also used in solders for joining pipes or electric circuits, in bearing alloys, in glass-making, and in a wide range of tin chemical applications. Although of higher melting point than a lead-tin alloy, the use of pure tin or tin alloyed with other metals in these applications is rapidly supplanting the use of the previously common lead–containing alloys in order to eliminate the problems of toxicity caused by lead.\n    * Tin foil was once a common wrapping material for foods and drugs; now replaced by the use of aluminium foil, which is commonly referred to as tin foil. Hence one use of the slang term "tinnie" or "tinny" for a small retail package of a drug such as c

Probably stainless steel.  Some are galvanized which is a zinc coating.

1. Buddy Epsen was the original "tinman" from the "Wizard of Oz." He was actually hired to be the lanky scarecrow, but switched over when they hired Ray Bolger. The part of the tinman went to Jack Haley after Buddy had a bad reaction to the aluminum dust that coated his make-up, as it got in his lungs, etc. \n\n2. toucan\n\n3. scarecrow is holding a pistol and the tin man is holding a large wrench

Very hard to say without more of a description, but the first thing that camr to mind is a tortoise beetle. Some look clear and I've found some that look like they are made of pure shiny gold.\nA picture at the link below.

It depends on the horn's condition this might give you a start off point\n\nhttp://rds.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0geusTgVV9FdEsAN1lXNyoA;_ylu=X3oDMTE3cDl1dGNiBGNvbG8DZQRsA1dTMQRwb3MDMQRzZWMDc3IEdnRpZANPT1A1XzEyMQ--/SIG=11etr9o80/EXP=1163962208/**http%3a//www.howarth.uk.com/

"Pot metal" is aluminum and zinc, but the purest form readily available is (was) in the casings of cheap dry cell batteries.  The old anode from an outboard engine would be high in zinc (ask a boat dealer for an old one).  A scrap dealer might also be able to help you.

If its a bottle of beer it could have a neck and a head. My answer would be a stringed instrument such as a violin or a guitar.

The needles used to inject grease under the rubber boots of  automotive CV joints are often made of aluminum/aluminium and therefore bend and break easily.  I've long believed they should be made of steel.  A good thing to make them of would be steel brake fluid lines.  You may have to adapt the threaded brass fixture on the end of the brake line to the thread at the end of the grease gun hose, but that's a fairly simple fix requiring one or two brass adaptors.  E-mail me if you want details and/or a drawing.

You get napalm.\n\nIf you google "gasoline and styrofoam", the first thing that pops up is a short explanation from totse.com which has a TON of other articles about things like this.

Volume of the cylinder= the length of the  cylinder X the cross section area  of the cylinder\n\nTherefore, V of tin = the length of the  tin X π r²\n                    = 8.4 cm X π (7/2) cm²\n                    = 102.9π cm³\n                    = 323.2699 cm³\n\nGiven the volume of soup = 200 litres\n                         = 200 X 1000\n                         = 200000 cm³\n\nThus, the number of tins = 200000 cm³/323.2699 cm³\n                         = 618.678\n\nSince there can't be .678 tin, we round off the number. Therefore the number of tins = 618\n\nU might wonder why 618 and not 619. It is because Bradley surely won't sell a tin that only be filled partially.
