  2. Lead(II) oxide - Wikipedia

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

    Lead(II) oxide, also called lead monoxide, is the inorganic compound with the molecular formula Pb O. It occurs in two polymorphs : litharge having a tetragonal crystal structure , and massicot having an orthorhombic crystal structure .

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead_oxide

    Lead sesquioxide, Pb 2 O 3, which is a lead (II,IV) oxide as well (lead(II) metaplumbate(IV) [Pb 2+][PbO 2− 3]), reddish yellow Pb 12 O 19 , monoclinic, dark-brown or black crystals The so-called black lead oxide , which is a mixture of PbO and fine-powdered Pb metal and used in the production of lead–acid batteries .

  4. Litharge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Litharge

    Historically, the term litharge has been combined to refer to other similar substances. For example, litharge of gold is litharge mixed with red lead, giving it a red color; litharge of bismuth is a similar result of the oxidation of bismuth; and litharge of silver is litharge that comes as a by-product of separating silver from lead.

  5. Massicot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massicot

    Massicot is lead (II) oxide mineral with an orthorhombic lattice structure. Lead(II) oxide (formula: PbO) can occur in one of two lattice formats, orthorhombic and tetragonal. The red tetragonal form is called litharge. PbO can be changed from massicot to litharge (or vice versa) by controlled heating and cooling.

    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 ...

    Lead Paint Violations In Homes With Young Children. More than 75 percent of all violations for lead paint conditions in units with children under the age of 6 are found in areas where the poverty rate exceeds the city's average of 21 percent, according to a Huffington Post / WNYC analysis of government data.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wulfenite

    Wulfenite is a lead molybdate mineral with the formula Pb Mo O 4. It often occurs as thin tabular crystals with a bright orange-red to yellow-orange color, sometimes brown, although the color can be highly variable. In its yellow form it is sometimes called "yellow lead ore".
