Yes.

Explanation:

We need to compare density of these elements to decide which one is heavier.

Density of mercury) near room temperature : 13.534" gcm"^-313.534 gcm3

Density of tin near room temperature
white, β: 7.265" gcm"^-3
gray, α: 5.769" gcm"^-3
when liquid, at melting point : 6.99" gcm"^-3

On comparison we conclude that mercury is heavier element than tin.
