Lead is a metal.
When water containing dissolved minerals evaporates, it can lead to the formation of minerals such as halite (common salt) and anhydrite. Halite forms from the evaporation of seawater or salt lakes, while anhydrite forms from the evaporation of calcium-rich water. Both minerals are commonly found in evaporite deposits.
Sulfur is the odd one out as it is a non-metal, while the others (gold, aluminum, silver, lead) are metals.
Heating lead sulfide results in the formation of lead oxide and sulfur dioxide gas. This reaction is used in the extraction of lead from its ores.
There are many minerals made of a combination of sulfur and a metal. Common ones include - Pyrite - FeS2 (Iron sulphide) Galena - PbS (Lead sulphide) Sphalerite - ZnS (Zinc sulphide) Chalcopyrite - CuFeS2 (Copper Iron Sulphide) Covellite - CuS (Copper Sulphide)
Lead is a good conductor of electricity compared to sulfur. This is because lead has free-flowing electrons that can easily carry an electric current, while sulfur lacks these free electrons and does not conduct electricity as well.
Halite is table salt. The cubic crystal "galena" is lead sulfide.

Yes, galena (PbS) has ionic bonds. Lead (Pb) is a metal, while sulfur (S) is a non-metal, leading to the formation of ionic bonds between the positively charged lead ions and the negatively charged sulfur ions in the compound.
The metal made up of the ores zinc and lead is called galena. Galena is a sulfide mineral composed mainly of lead and can contain zinc as well.
When calcium and sulfur combine, they react to form calcium sulfide. This is a chemical compound that is commonly used in the production of metal ores such as zinc and lead.
One atom of lead and one of sulfur for a total of two.
Lead sulphide (lead sulfide) contains only two elements, lead and sulfur. Lead sulfate contains lead, sulfur and oxygen.
