Does Lead Conduct Electricity Why Or Why Not
Pb is a silver-grey colored, soft, malleable, ductile, and heavy metal. It is obtained by roasting (heating in the absence of oxygen) mineral galena (PbS). Metals generally conduct electricity. In this article, we will find out if Lead also conducts electricity or not and the reason for the same. So, does lead conduct electricity? Pure Lead is a good conductor of electricity due to the presence of free electrons. However, Lead can be a bad conductor of electricity due to its reaction with atmospheric oxygen to form a layer of lead oxide which does not allow the electricity to pass through....
