Characteristics

Lead is bright and silvery when freshly cut but the surface rapidly
tarnishes in air to produce the more commonly observed dull luster
normally associated with lead. It is a dense, ductile, very soft, highly malleable, bluish-white metal that has poor electrical conductivity. This true metal is highly resistant to corrosion, and because of this property, it is used to contain corrosive liquids (e.g., sulfuric acid). Because lead is very malleable and resistant to corrosion it is extensively used in building construction, e.g., external coverings of roofing joints. Lead can be toughened by addition of a small amount of antimony or other metals. All lead, except ²⁰⁴Pb, is the end product of a complex radioactive decay. Lead is also poisonous, as are its compounds.
