Lead is not suitable for use as a torch because it has a low melting point (about 327°C or 621°F) and can release toxic fumes when heated. While it can conduct electricity, torches typically require materials that can withstand high temperatures and are safe for combustion. Instead, materials like steel or aluminum are preferred for torch construction. Using lead could pose significant health and safety risks.
