• A. 327 °C
• B. 350 °C
• C. 340 °C
• D. 372 °C

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 327 °C

Read Explanation:

• The melting point of lead is so low when compared to other metals because of the weak bonds between its atoms forming the solid lead.

• The melting point of lead is in between : 320°C to 330°C

• Metals with a tightly packed structure have higher melting points, while metals with a less tightly packed structure have lower melting points.

Note:

• Tungsten has the highest melting point of all metals.
