Lead has 82 protons, 125 neutrons, and 82 electrons.
Lead protons
- Protons = atomic number
From the periodic table, find the atomic number of lead.
The atomic number of lead is 82. Hence, lead has a total of 82 protons.
Lead neutrons
- Neutrons = atomic mass – atomic number
The atomic mass of lead is 207.2, so we’ll take the roundup value as 207. And the atomic number of lead is 82.
Subtract the atomic number (82) from the atomic mass (207). Hence, lead has a total of 207 – 82 = 125 neutrons.
Lead electrons
- Electrons = atomic number
The atomic number of lead is 82. Hence, lead has a total of 82 electrons.
