Question

3 multiple choice 10 points what is the formula for lead (iv) chloride? pb₂i li₂ pbi pbcl₄

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Lead (IV) Chloride is an ionic compound. Lead (Pb) has a +4 charge (as indicated by (IV)) and chloride (Cl) has a -1 charge. To balance the charges, we need 4 chloride ions for one lead ion. The formula is \(PbCl_4\). The other options either have incorrect ions (like \(I\) instead of \(Cl\)) or incorrect sub - scripting for charge balancing.

Answer:

PbCl₄ (the fourth option)
