Solution

The correct option is B False

Conductor – The substance in which electric current can easily flow is considered a good conductor.

  • Lead [Pb] – It is being a metal that is a bad conductor of heat and electricity.
  • It directly reacts with the atmosphere to form lead oxide [PbO].
  • Lead oxide does not allow heat and electricity [electric current] to pass through it.

Thus, the given statement is false, i,e., Lead is a good conductor of electricity.
