To fill in the missing information for lead (Pb):

  1. Atomic Symbol: Pb

  2. Atomic Number: 82 (This is the number of protons and also electrons in a neutral atom)

  3. Protons: 82

  4. Neutrons: The atomic mass of lead is approximately 207, and since the atomic mass is the sum of protons and neutrons, we can calculate the number of neutrons as follows:

    Neutrons = Atomic mass - Protons = 207 - 82 = 125

  5. Electrons: 82 (since it is neutral, the number of electrons equals the number of protons)

  6. Atomic Mass: 207

Here’s the completed table:

| Atomic symbol | Atomic Number | Protons | Neutrons | Electrons | Atomic mass | |---------------|---------------|---------|----------|-----------|-------------| | Pb | 82 | 82 | 125 | 82 | 207 |
