Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Identify the ions involved in lead(II) sulfide: lead(II) ion is Pb^{2+} and sulfide ion is S^{2-}.
Write the charges of each ion: Pb^{2+} has a charge of +2, and S^{2-} has a charge of -2.
Determine the ratio of ions needed to balance the charges so the compound is electrically neutral.
Since the charges are equal and opposite (+2 and -2), one Pb^{2+} ion will balance with one S^{2-} ion.
Write the chemical formula by combining one Pb^{2+} ion and one S^{2-} ion, resulting in PbS.
