As you go down group 14 the stability of the +2 oxidation state increase relative to the +4. The same is true in group 13 where the stability of the +1 state increase relative to the +3. This is sometimes called the inert pair effect, suggesting that the s electrons are somehow reluctant to participate in bonding.
A better explanation is that the bond energies decrease with increasing atomic size and this is insufficient to compensate for the extra energy required to involve the s electrons

What is the crystalline form of lead?
The three forms of lead are 1) Metallic lead 2) Inorganic lead and lead compounds (or lead salts) 3) Organic lead (containing carbon)
Can lead mix with other elements?
Yes, all elements can mix with any other elements. Also any element except the noble gases can form compounds with other elements. Lead will tend to form similar compounds to those that carbon forms, but unlike the carbon compounds these lead compounds are very toxic!
What are the Lead compounds?
Lead (pronounced "led", as in "lead weight") compounds are compounds that contain lead. Lead (pronounced "leed", as in "lead the way") compounds are chemicals that are considered the most promising candidates for use as a future drug. they are really cool and stuff and destroy the trees man!!!!!!!!! you should be huggin a tree your so deep
Is Pb II a metal?
No, it is not. It is a group 14 element, a post-transition metal.
Elements in these compounds Pbs?
PbS is lead (II) sulfide, which contains lead and sulfur.
What compounds are gold in?
There is gold oxide, Au2O3 But gold usually does not form compounds
Is lead in compound or in pure elemental form?
Lead is an element. But both an elements and compounds are pure substances.
What is the crystalline form of lead?
The three forms of lead are 1) Metallic lead 2) Inorganic lead and lead compounds (or lead salts) 3) Organic lead (containing carbon)
What are common compounds formed by lead?
Actually there are lots of elements which are commonly found only in compounds rather than in their pure elemental form. Sodium, magnesium, calcium, hydrogen come immediately to mind, but there are lots more.
What or which is the full list of the divalent metals?
copper, zinc, lead, manganese, iron, cadmium, magnesium, calcium, arsenic
Can lead mix with other elements?

What are some everyday compounds lead is in?
Now lead compounds are not used at home because they are toxic.
The difference between lead nitrate and silver nitrate?
Lead nitrate or Pb(NO3)2 , contains divalent lead ions. While Silver nitrate or AgNO3 , contains monovalent silver ions
What are the Lead compounds?

Lead (pronounced "leed", as in "lead the way") compounds are chemicals that are considered the most promising candidates for use as a future drug. they are really cool and stuff and destroy the trees man!!!!!!!!! you should be huggin a tree your so deep
Why lead is not used in making utensils?
Lead and lead compounds are toxic.
What are chemical similarities between carbon and the rest of its group?
The whole of the group has valence 4, that is the dioxides are all stable and familiar compounds. All but lead form tetrachlorides, and all form tetrafluorides. Tin and lead are metallic, though, and their chemistry is dominated by a secondary valence of 2, with the tetravalent compounds being strong oxidizing agents.
Is Pb II a metal?
No, it is not. It is a group 14 element, a post-transition metal.
