Among the elements of the carbon family, tin has the highest melting point. This is because tin has a strong metallic bonding due to the presence of a large number of delocalized electrons, which requires a significant amount of energy to break during melting. 

Tin is a metallic element with a close-packed lattice structure, which means that its atoms are arranged in a regular, repeating pattern that maximizes the attractive forces between them.
