    Tarnished lead (left) and shiny lead (right) Compounds of lead exist with lead in two main oxidation states: +2 and +4. The former is more common. Inorganic lead(IV) compounds are typically strong oxidants or exist only in highly acidic solutions. [1] Red α-PbO and yellow β-PbO The mixed valence oxide Pb 3 O 4 Black PbO 2 which is a strong ...

  4. Lead(II) azide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead(II)_azide

    Lead(II) azide is prepared by the reaction of sodium azide and lead(II) nitrate in aqueous solution. [6] [5] Lead(II) acetate can also be used. [7] [8] Thickeners such as dextrin or polyvinyl alcohol are often added to the solution to stabilize the precipitated product. In fact, it is normally shipped in a dextrinated solution that lowers its ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead

    Lead (/ l ɛ d /) is a chemical element; it has symbol Pb (from Latin plumbum) and atomic number 82. It is a heavy metal that is denser than most common materials. Lead is soft and malleable, and also has a relatively low melting point. When freshly cut, lead is a shiny gray with a hint of blue. It tarnishes to a dull gray color when exposed to ...

  6. Lead(II) chloride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead(II)_chloride

    PbCl 2 is used in synthesis of lead(IV) chloride (PbCl 4): Cl 2 is bubbled through a saturated solution of PbCl 2 in aqueous NH 4 Cl forming [NH 4] 2 [PbCl 6]. The latter is reacted with cold concentrated sulfuric acid (H 2 SO 4) forming PbCl 4 as an oil. [10] Lead(II) chloride is the main precursor for organometallic derivatives of lead, such ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azide

    In chemistry, azide (/ ˈ eɪ z aɪ d /, AY-zyd) is a linear, polyatomic anion with the formula N − 3 and structure − N=N + =N −. It is the conjugate base of hydrazoic acid HN 3. Organic azides are organic compounds with the formula RN 3, containing the azide functional group. [1] The dominant application of azides is as a propellant in ...
