Background: Observation of asymmetric fission of Hg180 has led to intensive theoretical and experimental studies of fission of neutron-deficient nuclei in the lead region. Purpose: The study of asymmetric and symmetric fission modes of Hg180,190 and Pb184,192,202 nuclei. Methods: Mass-energy distributions of fission fragments of Hg180,190 and Pb184 formed in the Ar36+Sm144,154 and Ca40+Sm144 reactions, respectively, at energies near the Coulomb barrier have been measured using the double-arm time-of-flight spectrometer CORSET and compared with previously measured Pb192,202 isotopes produced in the Ca48+Sm144,154 reactions. The mass distributions for Hg180,190 and Pb184,192,202 together with old data for Ir187, Au195, Hg198, Tl201, Bi205,207, Po210, and At213 [J. Nucl. Phys. 53, 1225 (1991)] have been decomposed into symmetric and asymmetric fission modes. The total kinetic-energy distributions for different fission fragment mass regions have been analyzed for Hg180,190 and Pb184. Results: The stabilization role of proton numbers at Z≈36, 38, Z≈45, 46, and Z=28/50 in asymmetric fission of excited preactinide nuclei has been observed. The high (≈145-MeV) and the low (≈128-MeV) energy components have been found in the total kinetic-energy distributions of Hg180,190 fission fragments corresponding to the fragments with proton numbers near Z≈46 and Z≈36, respectively. In the case of fission of Pb184 only the low-energy component (≈135MeV) for the fragments with masses corresponding to the proton numbers Z≈36 and 46 has been found. Conclusions: The studied properties of asymmetric fission of Hg180,190 and Pb184,192,202 nuclei point out the existence of well deformed proton shell at Z≈36 and less deformed proton shell at Z≈46.
