Stannous hydroxide, Sn(OH)2, is a hydroxide of tin, with tin in oxidation state +2.

Stannous hydroxide is a very weak base, being changed to stannous ion, Sn2+, only in highly acid conditions.

Stannous hydroxide is easily oxidized to stannic acid, Sn(OH)4, since tin is often found in oxidation state +4.
