Well, i don't know the answer to this question, but i do know that there are 82 electrons in lead. So it must have 80 shells with 2 electrons on the outer shell. Hey, i just answered the question! The Lewis structure for lead has 2 electrons.~*~ The above answer is actually completely incorrect. the very first shell does not have 8 valence electrons it has two. Because of this there are 4 electrons in the Lewis structure. The easiest way to tell how many electrons are in a Lewis structure for a representative element is that the group number (for example, 1A 2A 3A 4A) is also the number of electrons in the Lewis structure. Lead is in group 4A so it has 4 electrons in the structure

Lead (plumbum, Pb) is an element thus not forming a molecule with itself being a metal.

It can 'crystallize' (as solid material) in a atom array of particles
