Answer:
identify the atoms on each side
count the atoms on its side
use coefficients to increase the atoms on each side
check to make sure you have the same number of each type of atom on each side
Remark
The short Answer is 6. That's why the ion has a charge of minus 2. Oxygen is doing it's best to have its outer ring have 8 electrons which is the number of outer electrons contained in the outer ring of the Noble Gas Neon.
Answer 6.
Answer:- D. Double- replacement reaction
Explanations:- In general, the decomposition reactions looks like:

The given reaction looks different than this and so it is not decomposition reaction.
A single-replacement reaction looks like:

Our reaction looks different from this so single-replacement is also not correct.
Synthesis reaction looks exactly opposite to decomposition reaction.

The given reaction is different than this and so it is not synthesis reaction also.
A double-replacement reaction looks like:

In this reaction, the ions are exchanged as could be seen in the general reaction. On reaction side,A is with B and C is with D. On product side, A is with D and C is with B.
The same is happening in the given reaction. Nitrate ion is with lead metal on reactant side and chlorine is with hydrogen, On product side, Chlorine is with lead metal and nitrate ion is with hydrogen. So, ion exchange has taken place here and so this is a double-replacement reaction and choice D is correct.
Arguably A, B and C are all correct. Atoms of elements can form compounds such as NaCl(table salt). Molecules form molecular compounds and minerals are just complex molecule compounds.
