Lead is a bluish-white lustrous metal naturally found in the Earth’s crust.
It is also found in small amounts in air, soil and water.
It is very soft, highly malleable, ductile, and a relatively poor conductor of electricity compared to copper, gold, etc.
Native lead is rare in nature. Currently, lead is usually found in ore with zinc, silver and copper and it is extracted together with these metals.
It has a relatively low melting point compared to most metals.
It has good resistance to corrosion, especially in non-acidic environments.
It is the densest (non-radioactive) common metal, which makes it invaluable for applications requiring high weight with small volumes.

Which one of the following is the context in which the term “Qubit” is mentioned?
Correct
(b) Quantum computing
A qubit (or quantum bit) is the quantum mechanical analogue of a classical bit. In classical computing the information is encoded in bits, where each bit can have the value zero or one.
In quantum computing the information is encoded in qubits. Qubits can be in a state of 0 or 1 or (unlike a classical bit) in a linear combination of both states. The name of this phenomenon is superposition.
