We investigate the structural properties of liquid Sn. With the help of the inteal friction (tan φ) method, it is found that a peak appears in the tan φ - T curve, suggesting that an anomalous discontinuous temperature induced structure change may take place in liquid Sn. From the experimental data of pair distribution functions, we calculate the viscosity η and the excess entropy S and it is found that there are a peak of viscosity in the η - T curve and a bend of excess entropy in the S - T curve, which give a positive support to the appearance of the inteal-friction peak in the tan φ - T curve.
