Tin Pest

Definition: Tin Pest refers to the transformation of tin metal from its stable allotropic form to a brittle form known as tin disease, tin plague, or tin pest under certain conditions of low temperature. It occurs due to the conversion of tin atoms from a metallic lattice structure to a gray powdery form of tin oxide known as tin(II) oxide.

Examples:

Noun: The presence of tin pest in historical artifacts made of tin can cause significant damage and deterioration over time.

Verb: The cold weather caused the tin to pest, resulting in the structure's collapse.

Adjective: The tin pest phenomenon is a well-known issue affecting certain materials made of tin.

Adverb: The tin structure disintegrated rapidly, reflecting the susceptibility of tin to pesting.
