Aluminium foil replaced tin foil immediately after World War II because aluminum is: easier to work (manufacture into usable artifacts), more plentiful in the Earth's crust (and therefore cheaper to produce and cheaper for YOU to buy), and has qualities that are deemed more useful.
Actual tin foil was superseded by cheaper and more durable aluminum foil after World War II, and aluminum foil is sometimes confused as "tin foil" because of its similarity to the former material. Tin was first replaced by aluminum starting in 1910, when the first aluminum foil rolling plant, Dr. Lauber, Neher & Cie., Emmishofen was opened in Kreuzlingen, Switzerland. The first use of foil in the United States was in 1913 for wrapping Life Savers, candy bars, and gum.

its not, aluminum foil is made from aluminum
Either Tin (Sn) or Aluminum (Al) are used in foil wrap. Hope this helps!
No, titanium is not tin. Titanium (chemical symbol Ti) and tin (chemical symbol Sb) are both chemical elements. They are unique. They have different physical and chemical properties, and links are found below that you can follow to investigate the two substances.
Tin foil usually refers to aluminum foil, which is considered a compound. It is considered a compound because even though it contains at least 80% aluminum, it usually has other components mixed in with it for durability and appearance.
Tearing an aluminum foil is a physical change. This will only alter the physical features of the foil and not have any effect on the chemical composition.
Tin foil... tin Aluminum foil... aluminum :)
No, tin foil is made out of aluminum which can not be magnetized.
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 used to be popular (which is why sometimes you will hear people referring to aluminum foil as "tin foil"Tin(Sn)

It's also called Tin Foil
aluminium/tin foil
Metal foil, such as tin foil had been around for years. The first plant designed for rolling aluminum foil was opened in 1910. Aluminum foil replaced tin foil, when the "Dr. Lauber, Neher & Cie., Emmishofen" aluminum foil rolling plant in Kreuzlingen, Switzerland, was opened by J.G. Neher & Sons. They discovered the "endless rolling process" together with Dr. Lauber. For more details, please see the sites listed below.
Aluminum is considered important because it is used in daily life, some ways aluminum is used in is 'tin foil' (aluminum foil) it is also used in vehicles.
No. It's actually aluminum foil, and aluminum is not ferromagnetic. Aluminum foil can be repelled from a changing magnetic field, though (AC through an electromagnet).
Aluminum and tin are two different elements. They have different physical and chemical properties. Tin is element 50. Aluminum is element 13. Tin is denser and has a lower melting point than aluminum. Tin can reach 2+ and 4+ oxidation states while aluminum can only achieve the 3+ oxidation state.
