The element lead was known in Roman times. It is soft and was formed into pipes to carry water to the homes of the Roman upper class. We get the word plumbing from the Latin word for this metal—plumbum.

What is the symbol of this element?

Different regions, or blocks, of the periodic table correlate with the electron capacity of s, p, d, and f orbitals. These regions have been sketched on the periodic table below. For each region, enter the type of orbital correlated with it. (Enter only the letter.) See the description for details The image shows a diagram with four labeled regions: I, II, III, and IV. The diagram appears to represent sections of a larger structure, with each labeled region depicted as a separate area within the design.
