yes No. Inert elements have an outer electron shell which is exactly filled to capacity. Some of the inert elements are helium, neon, argon, and krypton. These are also referred to as "Nobel Gases". Lead is not one of these. The characteristic of these elements being "Inert", is that except under rare or extreme circumstances, they will not bond with other elements. Lead does not fit this characteristic. To see a list of about 30 common Lead compounds, search (Google, ...) for:

common compounds of lead

and visit the link titled: "Common Compounds of Lead Pb -- EndMemo" (EndMemo.com) Some of the lead compounds listed there are: Lead Chloride (PbCl2/PbCl4), Lead Oxide (PbO/PbO2), Lead Sulfite (PbSO3), Lead Sulfate (PbSO4).

Can inert gases be stored with oxidizing gases?

No, inert gases should not be stored with oxidizing gases. Inert gases like nitrogen or argon are used to displace oxygen in storage containers to prevent combustion or oxidation reactions. Storing them with oxidizing gases could lead to potential fire or explosion hazards.


Does Lead react to gold?

Lead does not react with gold under normal conditions as they are both relatively inert metals. However, at very high temperatures, above 600 degrees Celsius, lead can react with gold to form lead auride.

Why do lead and tin have different oxidation numbers even they are not in the transition element area?

One rationalization is the "inert pair effect" - lead and tin have oxidation numbers of +2 and +4 . The inert pair effect also rationaliss the two oxidation numbers of +1 and +3 exhibited by gallium, indium and thallium. In compounds with the lower oxidation numebrs the s electrons are not removed.
