Question

Is lead a transition metal?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Lead is a chemical element that is classified as a transition metal.

1. In the periodic table, it is often found between transition metals and weak nonmetallic metalloids.
2. Surprisingly, experts can't agree on what to call these metals (bad, other, post-transition).
3. Nonetheless, with the exception of lead, today only a few elements are considered post-transition metals.
4. Among them are aluminium, tin, indium, gallium, thallium, and bismuth.

Hence, lead is not a transition metal.
