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.

What is heavier water or lead?
Lead (11,34 g.cm^-3) has a greater density than water (1 g.cm^-3) so for the same volume of water and lead, lead will be heavier. The "-3" should be written as an exponent but it won't allow me
Which is heavier wood or lead?
Because centimeters cubed is a unit of volume, not weight. The two might take up the same amount of space, but iron is much more dense and as such weighs more.
What are things made up of lead?
Lead has many uses and applications, and was even more commonly used in the past:Stained glass windows, especially in older churches, use lead to hold the glass pieces in place;some boats strap pure lead blocks to their hulls to prevent corrosion by galvanisation;fishing sinkers, bullets and shot shells are mostly lead because of its density;car batteries use a reaction with lead to create energy;the solder in most circuits uses lead;pewter mugs and other items (now a health hazard) contain lead;lead is used as shielding in radioactive situations (x-ray rooms, radiation suits and other such areas);Environmental concerns have led to restrictions on lead used in paints, but many homes built in the 20th century and before may have these potentially toxic paints.Electronic devices should not be disposed of in landfills but rather be properly recycled.
Why does the jumper feel heavier after it is washed?
The weight of the jumper is heavier due to water
What does lead mean in science?
Lead is a heavy metal. An element. Atomic number 82 (has 82 protons in nucleus). Symbol is Pb, which comes from its Latin name plumbum. It is also the most nuclear stable element. That is, it is the end product of fusion. It is the heaviest element that is produced under normal fusion conditions in a star. Heavier elements (produced usually in supernova) decay usually into lead.
Solder is made of tin and lead but what is the other chemical?
Traditional electronics solder also contains resin.
Which is heavier lead or iron?
Lead is heavier than iron.
What does tin and lead equal?
Tin and lead make solder.
How do you solder electric wires to a brass fitting?
*Yes you can solder brass, as long as it isn't the decorative polished brass. They have used brass fittings in plumbing for years and years. It has the same characteristics as copper.
Is solder a element or a compound?
It is a mixture
Do plumbers use solder?
Yes many types depending on application and lead free alloys as solder by definition means lead. Solder such as 40 - 60 50 -50 60- 40
What products are made using soft solder?
soft solder is made of tin and lead. :D
Which alloy is made from tin and lead?
Solder
What type of solder is used in electronics and why?
lead.
What are the two alloys used to construct electronic circuit board solder?
Tin and Lead solder is the most common. The international trend is changing as the EU nations are moving toward non lead based solder.
Why is lead-free solder used?
Lead is toxic to humans (causes brain damage) thus when using a solder to join copper water pipes it is best not to use a solder containing lead as this will get into the water passing through the pipes and slowly poison the user of this water.
Which solder is best for sweating fitting used for a water heater installation?
Lead free solder found in most plumbing or hardware stores.
