actually you can still extract lead from lead oxide, but you need to do this experiment with carbon or other reducing agent e.g. hydrogen and with a high temperature Celsius. But the reason that you can extract the Mercury from the mercury oxides exactly is the higher reactivity of the lead. higher the reactivity means more difficult to extract the metals from the ore. so it is possible for lead to extract it from the lead oxide
Lead and oxygen combine to form lead oxide (PbO).
Pb is a compound.
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).
Lead has Three type of oxides: Lead(II) Oxide = PbO (Generally referred) Lead(IV) Oxide = PbO2 Lead(II,IV) Oxide = Pb3O4
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.
Lead Monoxide

Lead oxide
Lead oxide is composed of lead (Pb) and oxygen (O) atoms. Depending on the oxidation state of lead, lead oxide can exist in different forms such as lead(II) oxide (PbO) and lead(IV) oxide (PbO2). Lead(II) oxide is a yellow solid while lead(IV) oxide is a dark brown solid.
Lead (IV) ion
Pb is a compound.

Lead RED (pigment used to produce a "RED" used in ancient JAPANESE gravures.)
Mercury can form an amalgam with gold, which is a mixture of the two metals. This can make it easier to extract gold from ore, but it can also lead to environmental pollution if not properly managed.
Lead oxide is typically made by heating lead metal in the presence of oxygen. This causes a chemical reaction that results in the formation of lead oxide. Lead oxide can also be produced by dissolving lead metal in nitric acid and then drying the resulting solution.
Lead can be extracted from lead oxide through a reduction reaction. When lead oxide is heated in the presence of carbon (typically in the form of coke), carbon reduces the lead oxide to produce lead metal and carbon dioxide gas. This reaction allows the lead to be separated from the oxide compound.
