Lead oxide is not a metal. Why?
Lead is metal by itself, lead oxide is metal oxide, meaning it is a chemical compound that contains at least one atom of oxygen (thus oxide) and one other element (being a metal oxide, that one other element has to be metal, in this case lead).

easy! you would need to add universal indicator and if the pH turned alkaline you would know it was a metal. if it turned acidic however, it would show the characteristics of a non metal. grace x aged 14
Calcium is a metal, therefore this is a metal oxide.
lead oxide
There are several forms of lead oxides: Lead (II) oxide is called lead monoxide (PbO), typically used in manufacture of special glass. Lead (II-IV) oxide is called "red lead" and consists of Pb3O4 ( 2PbO-PbO2 ). Lead dioxide PbO2 is called plumbic oxide, used in dyes and in fireworks. Lead sesquioxide is Pb2O3.

Yes, lead reacts with oxygen and produces lead oxide.

Lead darkens when exposed to air due to the formation of lead oxide on its surface through a process called oxidation. This lead oxide layer gives the metal a dark appearance as it gradually forms over time.

lead + oxygen = lead oxide.
