    Lead(II) oxide - Wikipedia

    Lead(II) oxide, also called lead monoxide, is the inorganic compound with the molecular formula PbO. PbO occurs in two polymorphs: litharge having a tetragonal crystal structure, and massicot having an orthorhombic crystal structure. Modern applications for PbO are mostly in lead-based industrial glass and … See more

    Lead oxide exists in two types:
    • Red tetragonal (α-PbO), obtained at temperatures below 486 °C (907 °F)
    • Yellow orthorhombic (β-PbO), obtained at temperatures above 486 °C (907 °F) See more

    Metallic lead is obtained by reducing PbO with carbon monoxide at around 1,200 °C (2,200 °F):
    PbO + CO → Pb + CO2 See more

    Lead oxide may be fatal if swallowed or inhaled. It causes irritation to skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. It affects gum tissue, the central nervous system, the kidneys, the blood, and the … See more
