The element Lead Lead 82 Pb 207.2(1) Chemical Properties Electrochemical Equivalent: 3.865g/amp-hr Electron Work Function: 4.25eV Electronegativity: 2.33 Heat of Fusion: 4.799kJ/mol Incompatibilities: Strong oxidizers, hydrogen peroxide, acids Ionization Potential First: 7.416 Second: 15.028 Third: 31.943 Valance Electron Potential (-eV): 24.2 Chemical reactions of the element lead Reaction of lead with air The surface of metallic lead is protected by a thin layer of lead oxide, PbO. Only upon heating lead to 600-800°C does lead react with oxygen in …

…reduce in the price per pound. These changes will be very promising for our current industry. In year 2000 3,100 tons of lead were produced. That’s 130 tons greater than in 2001, which produced 2,930. This decrease in lead was due to the need of it decreasing. Synthetic elements are affecting the production of lead, but lead is still a vital element to the World. As long as our industries basic methods still resume, lead will be here forever.
