Additional Description
Lead has a dull gray appearance and is bluish white of bright luster when
freshly cut but tarnishes to dull gray when exposed to air. It is very soft,
heavy, toxic, highly malleable, ductile, and a poor conductor of electricity. It
is very resistant to corrosion; lead pipes bearing the insignia of Roman
emperors, used as drains from the baths, are still in service. It is used in
containers for corrosive liquids (such as sulfuric acid) and may be toughened by
the addition of a small percentage of antimony or other metals.
This wire is good for experimentation or practical use.
