When we look at the electron configuration we can make a comparison betwwen an alkine earth metal and lead oxide. Alkine earth when oxidised will become neutral and form a salt. When lead is oxidised the hydrogen atom is not included and will therefore not form a salt, this will result in the lead oxide not becoming a neutral atom but it will become an ion having a charge of -2
