Answer:
Pb oxidation number is +2
C in CH4 is -4. H is +1. 4H + 1C = 0. ; 4(+1) + C = 0 ; C = -4
O is usually -2. 3O = 3(-2) = -6. ; 2Fe =. +6 ; each Fe is +3
2Ag = +2 since O = -2 ; each Ag = +1
Characteristic properties can be used to describe and identify the substances, while non-characteristic properties, although can be used to describe the substances, cannot be used to identify them.
Temperature, mass, color, shape and volume are examples of non-characteristic properties.
Density, boiling point, melting point, chemical reactivity are examples of characteristic properties.
