Mineral Species containing Lead (Pb)

Element Properties, Isotopic Compositions for Lead

**Lead (Pb) Element Properties**
Atomic Mass	207.2
Atomic Number	82
Name Origins	Anglo-Saxon, lead; Latin plumbum.
Year Discovered	Prehistoric.
Discovery Credits	Known to ancient civilizations.
Remarks	Soft, weak, ductile, dull gray metal. Tarnishes in moist air but stable to oxygen and water, dissolves in nitric acid. Used in batteries, cables, paints, glass, solder, petrol, radiation shielding, etc. Diagnostic tests: With soda (Na₂CO₃) on charcoal a malleable globule of metallic lead is obtained from lead compounds, the coating has a yellow color near the assay, the sulfide gives also a white coating (PbSO₃) further away. Mixed with potassium iodide and heated on a plaster tablet, lead iodide forms a chrome-yellow sublimate. In solution, lead, along with mercury (Hg¹⁺) and silver form white, insoluble chlorides from aqueous solutions. The pale green flame test for Lead is not very decisive.
