Chapter 3, Problem 3.40P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

To write the formula for the compound formed between each of lead ions and the chloride anion.

Concept Introduction:

Lead is a metal which exist in +2 and +4 state.

$P{b}^{2+}$ and $P{b}^{4+}$

$P{b}^{2+}$ exists due to the inert pair effect and is stable.
