Lead - Wikipedia Lead ( lɛd ⓘ) is a chemical element with the symbol Pb (from the Latin plumbum) and atomic number 82 It is a heavy metal, denser than most common materials Lead is soft, malleable, and has a relatively low melting point When freshly cut, it appears shiny gray with a bluish tint, but tarnishes to dull gray on exposure to air
Lead | Definition, Uses, Properties, Facts | Britannica Lead, a soft, silvery white or grayish metal in Group 14 (IVa) of the periodic table Lead is very malleable, ductile, and dense and is a poor conductor of electricity Known in antiquity and believed by the alchemists to be the oldest of metals, lead is highly durable and resistant to corrosion
Lead: What It Is, Properties, Importance, Uses, and Advantages Lead is the chemical element represented by the symbol Pb and possesses the atomic number 82 It is a heavy metal with various properties that have made it useful for a range of applications
The Facts on Lead | Dartmouth Toxic Metals A bluish-white metal, lead occurs naturally in harmless trace amounts in soil, rocks and water A few centuries of mining and smelting changed this natural distribution so that toxic amounts of lead are now clustered near current and former lead plants and mines
Lead Fact Sheet – Stanford Environmental Health Safety Lead is a naturally occurring, soft, bluish-gray heavy metal Although nearly 50% of lead used today comes from recycled materials such as car batteries, its most common source is the mineral Galena (lead sulfide) that forms as pockets or veins in carbonate rock
