Lead is a chemical element with atomic number 82 in the periodic table. It\u2019s available in Earth\u2019s crust at 14 ppm and is typically found in the form of several different lead ores. This lustrous heavy metal has four valence electrons and the heaviest stable atom among all other elements of Mendeleev\u2019s system.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Element 82 is one of the most toxic chemical elements as well as one of the main environmental pollutants. But, despite its toxicity, lead has a wide industrial application.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nChemical and Physical Properties of Lead<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
