Lead is a basic metal and almost 11 isotopes of Lead are reported. The isotopes with greater natural abundance are as follow;
1) ²⁰⁸Pb with abundance 52.4 %
2) ²⁰⁶Pb with abundance 24.1 %
3) ²⁰⁷Pb with abundance 22.1 %
4) ²⁰⁴Pb with abundance 1.4 %
Molar mass of ²⁰⁸Pb:
Molar mass of any element is the total of number of protons, neutrons and electrons.
As, number of protons in Lead are 82 then in ²⁰⁸Pb isotope number of neutrons are...
# of Neutrons = M.mass - # of protons
# of Neutrons = 208 - 82
# of Neutrons = 126
Result:
Molecular Mass of Lead (²⁰⁸Pb) is 208 amu.
# of Protons in ²⁰⁸Pb = 82
# of Neutrons in ²⁰⁸Pb = 126

Moseley established a more accurate periodic table by closer determination of atomic numbers. Through the results of his measurements of the wavelengths of the X-ray spectral lines of a number of elements which showed that the ordering of the elements by atomic number.
