검증된 단계별 안내1
Identify the charges of the ions involved: lead(II) ion is Pb^{2+} and chromate ion is CrO_4^{2-}.
Write down the charges explicitly: Pb^{2+} and CrO_4^{2-}.
Determine the ratio of ions needed to balance the total positive and negative charges so that the compound is electrically neutral.
Since Pb^{2+} and CrO_4^{2-} both have charges of magnitude 2 but opposite signs, one Pb^{2+} ion will balance with one CrO_4^{2-} ion.
Write the formula by combining one Pb^{2+} ion and one CrO_4^{2-} ion without any additional subscripts, resulting in PbCrO_4.
