stannic

Relating to tin

Stannic is a chemistry term meaning "of or containing tin," specifically tin in its higher oxidation state (+4).

It appears in compound names like stannic chloride or stannic oxide.

The lower oxidation state (+2) is called stannous.

Both derive from the Latin word for tin, which also gives tin its chemical symbol Sn.
