Answer:

82

Step-by-step explanation:

Lead (207) has 82 protons and 82 electrons, generally. As it is neutral, there will be no change in the number of electrons as the electrons will cancel out with the number of protons, so the number of electrons equals the atomic number of 207Pb, which is 82.
