As anyone would guess, every atom has mass, an important physical property, even Lead. But how do we know how much does a Pb atom weight?
First of all, if we know the atom symbol, let's say Pb, we can open any periodic table and search for Lead.
In the case of Lead the answer is 207,2. However there is a lot of funny facts about Lead that most people don't know. Shall we have a look?
