- Lead oxide
Lead oxide may refer to:
*
Lead(II) oxide , PbO,litharge ,massicot
* Lead(II,II,IV) oxide, Pb3O4,minium , "red lead"
*Lead dioxide (lead(IV) oxide), PbO2Less common lead oxides are:
* Lead(II,IV) oxide, Pb2O3, leadsesquioxide
* Pb12O19 (monoclinic, dark-brown or black crystals)
* The so-called "black lead oxide", which is a mixture of PbO and fine-powdered metal Pb and used in the production of lead acid batteries.The sequence of the thermal transformation between the oxides in air (starting from PbO2) is as follows [N.N.
