Yes, gold is heavier than lead. Lead has a specific gravity of around 11.34 grams per cubic centimeter, while gold has a specific gravity of around 19.3 grams per cubic centimeter. This means that gold is about 1.7 times heavier than lead. For example, a cube of lead measuring 1 cm on each side would weigh 11.34 grams and a cube of gold with the same dimensions would weigh 19.3 grams.
