As you go down group 14 the stability of the +2 oxidation state increase relative to the +4. The same is true in group 13 where the stability of the +1 state increase relative to the +3. This is sometimes called the inert pair effect, suggesting that the s electrons are somehow reluctant to participate in bonding.
A better explanation is that the bond energies decrease with increasing atomic size and this is insufficient to compensate for the extra energy required to involve the s electrons

What are the Lead compounds?
Lead (pronounced "led", as in "lead weight") compounds are compounds that contain lead. Lead (pronounced "leed", as in "lead the way") compounds are chemicals that are considered the most promising candidates for use as a future drug. they are really cool and stuff and destroy the trees man!!!!!!!!! you should be huggin a tree your so deep
Can lead mix with other elements?
Yes, all elements can mix with any other elements. Also any element except the noble gases can form compounds with other elements. Lead will tend to form similar compounds to those that carbon forms, but unlike the carbon compounds these lead compounds are very toxic!
What is the difference between organic lead and inorganic lead?
Organic lead compounds contain carbon atoms in their molecular structure, while inorganic lead compounds do not. Organic lead compounds are typically more toxic and volatile than inorganic lead compounds. Inorganic lead compounds are commonly found in minerals and are less likely to easily enter the body through inhalation or skin contact compared to organic lead compounds.
What is the crystalline form of lead?
The three forms of lead are 1) Metallic lead 2) Inorganic lead and lead compounds (or lead salts) 3) Organic lead (containing carbon)
Is Pb II a metal?
No, it is not. It is a group 14 element, a post-transition metal.
Is lead ionic or covalent?
Lead can form both ionic and covalent compounds. In its ionic form, lead typically forms a 2+ cation, such as in lead(II) chloride (PbCl2). In its covalent form, lead can form covalent compounds with nonmetals, such as lead(IV) oxide (PbO2).
Is lead in compound or in pure elemental form?
Lead is typically found in compound form rather than in its pure elemental form. Common compounds include lead oxide, lead nitrate, and lead sulfide. Lead is rarely found in its native form in nature due to its high reactivity with other elements.
Does Pb2 plus react with oxygen?
Yes, Pb2+ (lead ions) can react with oxygen to form lead oxide (PbO) or other lead compounds depending on the conditions.
What or which is the full list of the divalent metals?
copper, zinc, lead, manganese, iron, cadmium, magnesium, calcium, arsenic
What are common compounds formed by lead?
Actually there are lots of elements which are commonly found only in compounds rather than in their pure elemental form. Sodium, magnesium, calcium, hydrogen come immediately to mind, but there are lots more.

What are some everyday compounds lead is in?
Now lead compounds are not used at home because they are toxic.
What is the crystalline form of lead?

Why lead is not used in making utensils?
Lead and lead compounds are toxic.
What does lead nitrate and potassium bromide make?
Lead nitrate and potassium bromide react to form lead(II) bromide and potassium nitrate. This chemical reaction is a double displacement reaction where the cations and anions exchange partners to form the new compounds.
