Lead is silver in color but tarnishes quickly when exposed to air. Lead is a very dense soft metal and is very resistant to corrosion which is useful to store corrosive materials such as sulfuric acid.

Lead is also used in construction because of its resistance to corrosion. Unfortunately, lead is a poisonous material and can be damaging. Lead has been used for thousands of years as far back as the Bronze Age.
