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.

What compound of lead is known as sugar of lead in recognition of its dangerously sweet taste?
This compound is lead (II) acetate with the chemical formula Pb(CH3COO)2.
What is the chemical formula of Plumbous Iodide?
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
Name the polyatomic ion C2H3O2Pb(c2h3o2)2?

What is the chemical name for white lead?
Its chemical name is "basic lead carbonate" but it is much more often just called white lead. It's an unusual compound consisting of 2 lead(II) carbonate formula units bonded to a lead(II) hydroxide formula unit with the formula 2PbCO3-Pb(OH)2. In classic European oil paintings from centuries past, it was used as the chief pigment for the color white. It isn't used anymore though, because lead is toxic.
