Question

What is the formula for lead carbonate?

Answer 1

Answer:

PbCO3

Explanation:

Lead (II) Carbonate

Lead is a Metal (Pb Carbonate (C is a Group of Non Metals So PbCO3 is an Ionic Compound think about the charges on the lead and carbonate which is 2- charge lead is 2+ So the Charges need to add Up to 0 to have a Neutral Compound and lead II carbonate that's a neutral compound 2+ 2- that adds up to 0 which is what people like to call a net charge of 0 than clean it up and that's it PbCO3

Answer 2

Answer: PbCO

Explanation: its quite simple really, you need to get a periodic table and find the symbol of said elements. Lead is Pb, and carbonate is another word for carbon and oxygen, so it is C and O
