Lead-207 can change into Lead-208.

When Lead-207 is bombarded with neutrons, the atom acquires the neutron. Adding a neutron only changes the mass number of the atom. This does not involve change in the identity of the atom. So, Lead-207 can change into Lead-208 without change in its chemical properties.
