Lead oxide is formed when a lead cation that has a charge of 2+ combines with an oxygen anion that has a charge of 2-. Using the crisscross method, write the formula for lead oxide.

Respuesta :

PbO
Not sure how to show crisscross method
Make sure adding the charges together=0 and multiply the elements when necessary to balance charge

Answer : The formula for lead oxide is, [tex]PbO[/tex]

Explanation :

As we know that the lead is a metal having the atomic number 82. The symbol of lead is, (Pb). The charge on lead is (+2).

The element oxygen is the non-metal having the atomic number 8. The symbol of oxygen is, (O). The charge on oxygen is, (-2).

When the lead combine with the oxygen, it forms lead oxide. It is an ionic compound in which the a metal react with the non-metal and combine with the an ionic bond by the criss-cross method.

Hence, the formula of the lead oxide is, [tex]PbO[/tex]
