TABLE OF PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF PURE LEAD
Atomic Number 82
Atomic Weight 207.21
Density (20oC) 11.34 g/cm3
Melting Point 600.55 K (327.4oC)
Boiling Point 2023.15 K (1750oC)
Coefficient of linear thermal expansion (20oC-100oC mean) 29.3 x 10-6/K
Thermal conductivity (near 20oC) 34.66 W/m K
Specific Heat (20oC) 129.8 J/kg K
trying to remember from all the chemistry classes i took. should have spent more time studying and less time altering the glassware.

wouldn't you have to reach the boiling point to vaporize the lead?
