No: Lead by itself is a metal, but lead oxide is a compound, and compounds are never metals. Note, however, that mixtures of metals, usually called alloys, do exist and are metallic. These alloys are not compounds because they do not have fixed compositions that are the ratios of small whole numbers of atoms of each constituent.
Lead oxide is not a metal. Why?Lead is metal by itself, lead oxide is metal oxide, meaning it is a chemical compound that contains at least one atom of oxygen (thus oxide) and one other element (being a metal oxide, that one other element has to be metal, in this case lead).
Heating carbon with lead oxide will result in the production of lead metal. This is a common reduction reaction where carbon acts as a reducing agent to convert lead oxide into lead metal.
The metal that forms a yellow solid oxide is lead. Lead oxide (PbO) is a yellow solid that is commonly known as litharge.
When carbon reacts with lead oxide, it produces lead metal and carbon dioxide as byproduct.
Lead oxide is typically made by heating lead metal in the presence of oxygen. This causes a chemical reaction that results in the formation of lead oxide. Lead oxide can also be produced by dissolving lead metal in nitric acid and then drying the resulting solution.
Lead oxide is considered a metal oxide because it is composed of lead, a metal, combined with oxygen, a nonmetal. In its most common form, lead(II) oxide (PbO), it exhibits properties typical of metal oxides, such as being a semiconductor and having a high melting point. Thus, while it contains both metal and nonmetal components, lead oxide itself is classified based on its metallic constituent.
Lead being less electropositive will be given out
Lead oxide is neither an acid nor an alkali. It is a compound that is formed by the oxidation of lead metal.
Lead can be extracted from lead oxide through a reduction reaction. When lead oxide is heated in the presence of carbon (typically in the form of coke), carbon reduces the lead oxide to produce lead metal and carbon dioxide gas. This reaction allows the lead to be separated from the oxide compound.
Metal oxides can be various colors, depending on the specific metal involved. Some common colors of metal oxides include red (iron oxide), black (copper oxide), white (zinc oxide), and yellow (lead oxide).
No because Cu is below Pb in the electrochemical series
easy! you would need to add universal indicator and if the pH turned alkaline you would know it was a metal. if it turned acidic however, it would show the characteristics of a non metal. grace x aged 14
