Lead oxides are a group of inorganic compounds with formulas including lead (Pb) and oxygen (O).. Common lead oxides include: Lead(II) oxide, PbO, litharge (red), massicot (yellow)
Whereas the beta form had been identified in 1845, [3] α-PbO 2 was first identified in 1946 and found as a naturally occurring mineral 1988. [ 4 ] The alpha form has orthorhombic symmetry, space group Pbcn (No. 60), Pearson symbol oP 12, lattice constants a = 0.497 nm, b = 0.596 nm, c = 0.544 nm, Z = 4 (four formula units per unit cell).

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.
Plattnerite is found in numerous arid locations in North America (US and Mexico), most of Europe, Asia (Iran and Russia), Africa and Southern and Western Australia.It occurs in weathered hydrothermal base-metal deposits as hay-like bundles of dark prismatic crystals with a length of a few millimeters; the bundles grow on, or sometimes within various minerals, [5] including cerussite ...
6 PbO + O 2 → 2 Pb 3 O 4. The resulting material is contaminated with PbO. If a pure compound is desired, PbO can be removed by a potassium hydroxide solution: PbO + KOH + H 2 O → K[Pb(OH) 3] Another method of preparation relies on annealing of lead(II) carbonate in air: 6 PbCO 3 + O 2 → 2 Pb 3 O 4 + 6 CO 2
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.
118 chemical elements have been identified and named officially by IUPAC.A chemical element, often simply called an element, is a type of atom which has a specific number of protons in its atomic nucleus (i.e., a specific atomic number, or Z).
The names "caffeine" and "3,7-dihydro-1,3,7-trimethyl-1H-purine-2,6-dione" both signify the same chemical compound.The systematic name encodes the structure and composition of the caffeine molecule in some detail, and provides an unambiguous reference to this compound, whereas the name "caffeine" simply names it.
