What type of bond does the compound Pb(C2H3O2)2 have?
##”Pb(C”_2″H”_3″O”_2″)”_2″## is the compound lead(II) acetate. The bonds between the lead(II) cation and the two acetate anions are ionic, therefore, the compound lead(II) acetate is ionic.
One formula unit of ##”Pb(C”_2″H”_3″O”_2″)”_2″## consists of one lead(II) cation ##(“Pb”^(2+)”)## ionically bonded to two polyatomic acetate anions ##(“C”_2″H”_3″O”_2”)”^-“##.
##[“Pb”]^(2+)”+ “2[“C”_2″H”_3″O”_2″]”^(-)”####rarr####”Pb(C”_2″H”_3″O”_2”)”_2″##
