Why can't you extract lead from lead oxide but you can with mercury and mercury oxide?

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

Is PB an element or a compound?
Pb is a compound.
What does lead and oxygen make?
lead oxide
What is the colour of the compound lead oxide?
This depends on the transition state of the lead ion. Lead(II) oxide, PbO: red or yellow powder Lead(IV) oxide, PbO2: dark brown, black powder Lead(II,IV) oxide, Pb3O4: bright red or orange powder
What is the chemical formula of Lead and Oxygen?
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.
Is lead oxide a metal?
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).
Is PB an element or a compound?
Pb is a compound.
What does lead and oxygen make?
