It depends on the isotope (atoms of lead with different numbers of neutrons). There are three stable isotopes of lead:
In nature there are a number of isotopes of lead:
Lead-204, 122 neutrons
Lead-206, 124 neutrons
Lead-207, 125 neutrons
Lead-208, 126 neutrons
Lead-210, 128 neutrons
The number of neutrons is the difference between the mass number of an isotope and the number of protons. And of course each isotope has another number of neutrons. The natural isotopes of lead are: 204, 205, 206, 207, 208 and 210.
Lead has 82 protons in its nucleus. Since the number of neutrons varies among different isotopes of lead, if we consider the most common isotope, which is lead-208, it has 126 neutrons.
Lead has 125 neutrons. It also has 82 electrons and 82 protons.
it has 125 neutrons.

How many protrons and neutrons does silicon have in the nucleus?
Polonium-212 loses 2 protons and 2 neutrons when it decays to lead-208. These 2 protons and 2 neutrons are lost as a single Helium nucleus. In other words, it is an alpha decay.
number of neutrons = mass number - number of protons = 28 - 13 = 15 neutrons
Lead has: 82 Protons 82 Neutrons 125 Electrons
Lead has 125 Neutrons in each normal atom that is not an isotope.
Lead-210 has 82 protons, so 128 - 82 = 46 neutrons in Pb-210. Lead-206 has 82 protons, so since it's a different isotope, the number of neutrons will differ. Lead-206 has 206 - 82 = 124 neutrons.
isotopes
For lead, the number of protons (Z) is 82, since the atomic number of lead is 82. If the nuclide contains 1.5 times as many neutrons as protons, then the number of neutrons (N) would be 1.5 times 82, equaling 123.
Number of neutrons = Mass number - atomic number = 210 - 82 = 128
Pb (lead) 82 protons 82electrons 125 neutrons
Yes, having too many neutrons relative to protons can make an isotope unstable. Neutrons help bind together the nucleus, but if there are too many, the nucleus can become unstable and undergo radioactive decay to become more stable.
The mass number of an atom is equal to the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus. Since lead has an atomic number of 82 (number of protons), if the lead atom has 80 neutrons, then the mass number would be 82 (protons) + 80 (neutrons) = 162.

Lead-208, which is 52.3% of natural lead.
The element with 82 protons is lead (Pb). The number of electrons in a neutral atom of lead is equal to the number of protons, which is 82. To find the number of neutrons, you subtract the number of protons from the mass number, which is 125 neutrons for this isotope of lead.
