Which is heavier lead or solder?
Lead. The densities of lead and tin are 11.34 g/cm^3 and ~7 g/cm^3, respectively. Lead solder is an alloy made of mostly lead and tin; a mixture of lead and tin will weigh less than 100% lead. Lead-free solders are made of tin, copper, silver, indium, bismuth, zinc, antimony, and other metals; none of these metals is heavier than lead. So, lead is the champion.
