Lead actually does conduct electricity. It is one of the components in solder and also in automotive batteries. Without lead, batteries would not work or conduct current. Lead is a very good conductor of electricity. The best conductor of course is Gold, but lead is not so far down the list for conductors.
Yes, lead does conduct electricity, but it is a poor conductor.
Silver is the best electrical conductor of any known metal. At 20 °C it has 15.87 nΩ·m electrical resistivity.
Copper is the second best conductor, at 16.78 nΩm.
Gold comes in third, at 22.14 nΩm.
Aluminum is next at 26.50 nΩm.
Lead is way down the line at 1.29 µΩm.
As electrical resistivity is the inverse of electric conductivity, it follows that the more resistance something has the less conductive it is. Lead is a poor electrical conductor.
n or nano = 10^-9, which is one billionth or .0000000001
µ or micro = 10^-6, which is one millionth, or .0000001
Lead is used in building construction, lead-acid (car) batteries, bullets shots, weights, pewters, fusible alloys and as a radiation shield. Lead has the highest atomic number of all of the stable elements.
Lead is potent neurotoxin and is poisonous to mammals in that it damages the nervous system and causes both blood and brain disorders.

In the conductivity list lead is close to the bottom. Silver is 106, Copper is 100, Gold is 65, Aluminium is 59 and lead is 7. Lead is not a good conductor by any means but it still is conductive.
lead does not conduct electricity. Gold, silver, and copper are better conductors. A conductor requires "free" electrons for electrical flow.
Yes, Pyrite can conduct electricity.
Yes it does. pure H2O will not conduct electricity, however most water has some impurities in it, and will then conduct quite nicely.
Metals conduct electricity easily because the electrons in a metal crystal can move freely among the atoms.They are know as free electrons.
Most molecular substances do not conduct electricity since the ions don't dissociate very well with molecular substances. However, most ionic substances do conduct electricity very well due to their ability to dissociate very well in water.
No, I wouldn't. It is more like a insulator, not a conductor. Silver conducts electricity the best. If a current were put through cardboard, it would most likely catch on fire, not conduct electricity.
Yes, Pencil Lead does conduct Electricity. Copper, Gold and Silver though are the best conductors.
yeh
No.
Yes.
through pencil lead.
lead is a poor conductor of electricity. its melting point is 327A^*c
Yes the center carbon or lead can conduct electricity. The carbon in the pencil is also used in resistors for resistance in a circuit.
Yes, car batteries are made of lead and the top posts are totally lead.
we know that graphite(pencil lead)conducts electricity.a line drawn by the pencil contains graphite particles.then why can't it conduct electricity?
The only part of a pencil that will conduct electricity is the metal band that holds the erasure and the lead graphite mixture that is used to put a mark on a page.
Not really. Lead bromide's solubility in water is so low that it is generally considered to be insoluble.
