    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead_dioxide

    Lead(IV) oxide, commonly known as lead dioxide, is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula PbO 2.It is an oxide where lead is in an oxidation state of +4. [1] It is a dark-brown solid which is insoluble in water. [2]

  3. Scrutinyite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrutinyite

    Scrutinyite / ˈ s k r uː t ɪ n i. aɪ t / is a rare oxide mineral and is the alpha crystalline form of lead dioxide (α-PbO 2), plattnerite being the other, beta form. The mineral was first reported in 1988 and its name reflects the scrutiny and efforts required to identify it from a very limited amount of available sample material.

  4. Three-body problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-body_problem

    While a system of 3 bodies interacting gravitationally is chaotic, a system of 3 bodies interacting elastically is not. [clarification needed] There is no general closed-form solution to the three-body problem. [1] In other words, it does not have a general solution that can be expressed in terms of a finite number of standard mathematical ...

    3 Cl and NaCl 3. Quantum mechanical calculations predict the possibility of other compounds, such as NaCl 7, Na 3 Cl 2 and Na 2 Cl. The materials are thermodynamically stable at high pressures. Such compounds may exist in natural environments that exist at high pressure, such as the deep ocean or inside planetary cores. The materials have ...

    3) 2 → 2 PbO + 4 NO 2 + O 2 PbCO 3 → PbO + CO 2. PbO is produced on a large scale as an intermediate product in refining raw lead ores into metallic lead. The usual lead ore is galena (lead(II) sulfide). At a temperature of around 1,000 °C (1,800 °F) in air, the sulfide converted to the oxide: [4] 2 PbS + 2 O 2 → 2 PbO + 2 SO 2
