No, lead is less conductive than iron. Iron is a good conductor of electricity due to its metallic bonding and high number of free electrons, while lead has a lower number of free electrons and is a poorer conductor.

Why does a piece of steel heat up more than equal mass of plastic when both absorb the same energy?

Steel is more conductive than plastic is. The reason for this is that iron is more reactive than plastics are as they have valence electrons and plastic does not.

Why would a bar of iron be more dense then a bar of lead?

This is incorrect. A bar of lead is denser than a bar of iron. Iron bars have a density of 7.87 g/cm3, whereas lead bars have a density of 11.36 g/cm3.
