I think it is Lead (right Lealand?)

Please put it back in my solder . . . and give me the flux that smells good!

Subject: [TN] Element Quiz Question



 The Question:

This element was known to ancient civilizations (at least 5500 BC). A pure bar of this element will "cry" when bent due to the twinning of its crystal structure. One of the early Latin words for this element was "plumbum candidum". A major commercial application for a compound containing this element is the stabilization of PVC plastics.The International Maritime Organization has a worldwide ban of a compound containing this element.

Which element is being described?
