Because the stable isotopes of lead are the end products of the decay chain of uranium natural radioactive isotopes.
or
because lead is the product of decayed uranium... that should be a good enough answer for your chem teacher you cheater!
Lead is often found in uranium deposits because they have similar chemical properties and tend to form together during the same geological processes. As uranium ores break down over time, lead is a common byproduct of the radioactive decay of uranium. This is why lead is commonly found in association with uranium deposits.
It is not yet discovered since all of the uranium isotopes are having half life for several millions of years. We would be able to find it after atleast 700 millions of years.
In the reaction: Lead (Ⅱ) Nitrate + Potassium Iodide → Potassium Nitrate + Lead (Ⅱ) Iodide.. all nitrates are soluble and lead(ii)iodide is insoluble.
Protons = 92 Electrons = 92 Neutrons = 146 The number of electrons and protons in a neutral atom are each equal to the atomic number of the element (92). The number of neutrons equals the atomic weight minus the number of protons (238 - 92 = 146).
Geologists are not typically involved in the actual mining of lead; that task is usually carried out by mining engineers and specialized mining companies. However, geologists do play a key role in identifying potential lead deposits, assessing the economic viability of mining operations, and ensuring environmental compliance during the mining process.

Lead is not naturally present in pure uranium. Therefore, there should be no lead in 1 kilogram of pure molten uranium. Lead can be found in trace amounts as impurities in uranium ores, but it is removed during the refining process to obtain pure uranium.
1. Yes, all coals contain traces of uranium. 2. Uranium is not combustible; the "burning" of uranium in nuclear reactors is a nuclear reaction, not a reaction with oxygen.
All the building materials contain uranium at ultratrace level; near uranium ore deposits it is possible that buildings have materials with a higher concentration of uranium. A correct answer is possible only after radiometric measurements, radon determination in the rooms and chemical analysis of the materials.
It can be found almost everywhere in soil and rock, in rivers and oceans. Traces of uranium are even found in food and human tissue. However, concentrated uranium ores are found in just a few places, usually in hard rock or sandstone. Uranium deposits are found all over the world. The largest deposits of uranium are found in Australia, Kazakhstan and Canada. High-grade deposits are only found in Canada. It is also found in ocean water.
Wyoming's natural resources include mineral deposits of coal, natural gas, uranium, crude oil and other minerals.

Radioactive decay to lead stable isotopes.
Uranium deposits may contain infinitesimal amounts of technetium isotopes.
All radioactive elements eventually decay to lead (Pb). There a numerous isotopes of lead and it is thought that all the lead(Pb) in the world is derived from decayed radioactive isotopes.
No. Almost all technetium is man made. In nature it is found only in trace amounts mixed in uranium or platinum ores.
Often uranium dioxide is used as fuel in nuclear power plants either as UOX (uranium dioxide) or MOX (mixed oxides, typically uranium and plutonium). There are a number of other fuel types, however, and not all plants use uranium dioxide. The other fuel types include metal alloys, ceramics, and various chemical compounds other than oxides.
