Volume is the amount of 3-dimensional space occupied by an object and has nothing whatsoever to do with the molecular composition of the object. The volume of a 1" x 1" x 1" cube of lead is exactly the same as the volume of a 1" x 1" x 1" cube of butter or a 1" x 1" x 1" cube of anything for that matter. Lead and butter have a great many differences, but volume isn't a measure of any of them.

Lead has a greater volume than butter due to its higher density. Lead is a metal with a much denser mass per unit volume compared to butter, which is a dairy product with a much lower density.

Since butter will occupy more space than an equal weight of lead, I would guess that butter has a greater volume.
