lead and water will occupy the same volume. however the Density of lead is 207.2 g/L (grams per liter) and the Density of H2O is only 18.02 g/L so if you had the same volume of lead and water the lead would be heavier. But if you had the same Weight of both water and lead the water would have a larger volume.

Lead will occupy a larger volume than water, as lead is a denser material than water. Denser materials have more mass packed into a given volume, which means they take up more space.
A kilogram of water and a kilogram of lead have the same mass, but lead is denser than water. Lead has a higher density because it has more mass packed into a smaller volume compared to water.
In general, the volume of particles in a liquid tends to increase with increasing temperature. This is because higher temperatures typically lead to greater thermal motion of the particles, causing them to spread out and occupy more space.
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.
First of all, centimetres are a measure of length or distance, not volume. Second, there is no relationship between mass and volume. 34.567 grams of air, for example, will occupy a lot more space that 34.567 grams of lead. So the question, as presented, is essentially nonsense.
Lead(II) fluoride (PbF2) is insoluble in water. This is because lead(II) compounds typically have low solubility in water due to the high charge density and larger size of the lead(II) ion.
