Lead is known for being soft, heavy, and toxic. It can be easily deformed and indented, so describing it as soft fits well. Its density is high, so it’s heavy for its size. It’s also toxic, posing health hazards if inhaled or ingested. Hard, on the other hand, does not describe lead; it is relatively soft and malleable, with a low hardness on the Mohs scale (about 1.5), meaning it can be scratched or bent more easily than many other metals. So the term that doesn’t fit is hard.
