  2. Isotopes of lead - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotopes_of_lead

    Lead (82 Pb) has four observationally stable isotopes: 204 Pb, 206 Pb, 207 Pb, 208 Pb. Lead-204 is entirely a primordial nuclide and is not a radiogenic nuclide.The three isotopes lead-206, lead-207, and lead-208 represent the ends of three decay chains: the uranium series (or radium series), the actinium series, and the thorium series, respectively; a fourth decay chain, the neptunium series ...

    Lead-208 has 126 neutrons, another magic number, which may explain why lead-208 is extraordinarily stable. [39] With its high atomic number, lead is the heaviest element whose natural isotopes are regarded as stable; lead-208 is the heaviest stable nucleus.

  4. Valley of stability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valley_of_stability

    The heaviest stable element, lead (Pb), has many more neutrons than protons. The stable nuclide 206 Pb has Z = 82 and N = 124, for example. For this reason, the valley of stability does not follow the line Z = N for A larger than 40 ( Z = 20 is the element calcium ). [ 3 ]

    The gaps at Z = 82, 114, 120, and 126 correspond to shell closures, [20] which have particularly stable configurations and thus result in more stable nuclei. [ 21 ]

    The latter is always stable due to a theorem of Edward Teller which states that atoms can never bind in Thomas–Fermi model. [ 14 ] [ 15 ] [ 16 ] The Lieb–Thirring inequality was used to bound the quantum kinetic energy of the electrons in terms of the Thomas–Fermi kinetic energy ∫ R 3 ρ ( x ) 5 3 d 3 x {\displaystyle \int _{\mathbb {R ...

  9. Galena - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galena

    Galena, also called lead glance, is the natural mineral form of lead(II) sulfide (PbS). It is the most important ore of lead and an important source of silver. [5] Galena is one of the most abundant and widely distributed sulfide minerals. It crystallizes in the cubic crystal system often showing octahedral forms.
