Lead is considered a Heavy Metal and by volume it weighs more when compared to most other metals. it is 82nd on the periodic table and as the Periodic Table is arranged according to the mass of the elements lead falls on the heavy side, but there are 104 known elements. that leaves 22 elements that have more mass than lead.
