A cation is any element with a positive charge. Lead most commonly forms an anion, which means it has a negative charge. But any element can have any charge, but only under certain condistions
Cation = a positive ion.
Therefore electron charge is 1+.
If more electrons are removed it will go: 2+, 3+, 4+. 5+....
The charge of the nucleus of a lead atom is 82. Atomic number of any element is the charge of the nucleus of that atom.
The common charge is +3.
Pb10S10 The prefix deca in decasulfide means that there are 10 sulfide ions in the formula, each with a 2- charge. So the total negative charge is 10 x 2-, which equals 20-. To balance the total sulfide charge, you need enough lead II ions to equal 20+, so that means 10 lead II ions, which equals a charge of 20+. This is not really the correct way to name this compound. It should just simply be lead II sulfide, and the proper formula would be PbS, which, if you look at the ratio of lead to sulfide ions, which is 10:10, the formula for lead II decasulfide should be reduced to PbS.
2 or 4 just for fun, Tin also has a charge of 2 or 4. The names of lead are plumbous (2 charge) and plumbic ( 4 charge). You can also name it like lead (II). Read a textbook, your so ignorant.
The lead ion is a cation, meaning that it has a positive charge. However, there are multiple lead cations, each with a different charge. These ions are lead (ii) and lead (iv), which have a 2+ and 4+ charge, respectively.
Plumbous refers to Lead II. The II means it is in a +2 state. Therefore, this requires two Iodines as they have -1 charge. Therefore the formula is PbI2
Lead (II) Sulfite
It is Lead Carbonate, but to be more specific, it is Lead (II) Carbonate. Lead can have a charge of +2 or +4. A carbonate ion has a charge or -2. So, in order for the chemical formula to be PbCO3 the lead ion must have a charge of +2, hence the (II) between the lead and carbonate.
The formula for lead (II) phosphate is Pb3(PO4)2, because phosphate anions have a charge of minus three and lead (II) cations have a charge of plus two.
Pb10S10 The prefix deca in decasulfide means that there are 10 sulfide ions in the formula, each with a 2- charge. So the total negative charge is 10 x 2-, which equals 20-. To balance the total sulfide charge, you need enough lead II ions to equal 20+, so that means 10 lead II ions, which equals a charge of 20+. This is not really the correct way to name this compound. It should just simply be lead II sulfide, and the proper formula would be PbS, which, if you look at the ratio of lead to sulfide ions, which is 10:10, the formula for lead II decasulfide should be reduced to PbS.
The systematic name of this compound is Lead(II) Sulfate(VI), and the common name is lead sulfate.

Lead (II) Dichromate
The lead ion is a cation, meaning that it has a positive charge. However, there are multiple lead cations, each with a different charge. These ions are lead (ii) and lead (iv), which have a 2+ and 4+ charge, respectively.
Plumbous phosphate, or lead(II) phosphate.
Lead(II) Bromide = PbBr2
Lead(II) Bromide = PbBr2
Plumbous refers to Lead II. The II means it is in a +2 state. Therefore, this requires two Iodines as they have -1 charge. Therefore the formula is PbI2
Lead iodide is not a correct name. Lead is a transition metal and can form more than one ion. The charge of the lead ion should be in the name. For example, lead(II) iodide, which would be PbI2. Lead(IV) iodide would be PbI4.
