Heavy element used for fishing weights?
Lead is used for fishing weights.
What is the fraction in calculating the average atomic weight of an element?
The atomic weight (not mass) of a chemical element is calculated considering the isotopic composition of the element and the atomic masses (not weights) of these isotopes.
Why is atomic mass for an element an average on the periodic table?
The atomic mass is an average because most atoms have isotopes sometimes up to 10 or more. These all have different numbers of neutrons and subsiquently different weights. For this reason an average of these weights needs to be used for the atomic mass.
What is lead used for today?
Lead has many uses just a few are as weights, fishing weights, and bullets. It was formerly used in gasoline and paint. It is also used to deflect radiation and to make aprons used when x-rays are taken.
Do radioactive atoms have different atomic weights than non radioactive atoms of the same element?

Lead is used for fishing weights.
What mineral is used for fishing weights?

Is a lead shot a compound element or mixture?
Lead is an element. The fact that it comes as shot, or fishing weights, or curtain weights, or some other form does not make it any thing other than an element. When it is mixed with other substances to create lead crystal, then it is a mixture.

What is a tungsten fishing sinker?
Tungsten is an ideal substitute of the lead fishing sinker. It's strong adhesive, semi-solid state, soft for a long term. Tungsten Heavy Alloys concentrate maximum weight in the smallest possible space. They are more often to be used as counterweight in sporting field, such as fishing sinkers, golf weights, etc. Tungsten weights are an ideal, environmentally friendly alternative to lead weights, which are toxic and increasingly being labeled an environmental hazard. They are harder than steel and extremely dense, tungsten being on average 30 percent smaller than its lead counterpart. Meanwhile, they are smaller than conventional weights, create twice the sound of lead weights and maintain their shape for longer. Tungsten is also used in the production of other fishing applications, such as tungsten-carbide line cutters and tungsten powder coating for fishing lines.
Is lead weights a compound?
No, lead is an element on the periodic table; it's symbol is Pb.
What else beside lead is fishing weights made from?
Brass, and tungsten.
