In this question, we need to name the compound PbSO3_3. It contains a metal Pb (lead), and polyatomic anion (SO3_32^{2-}) so it's an ionic compound.

We can differ between two types of ionic compounds:

  • type I ionic compounds - metals forms only a single type of cations. Group 1A and 2A metals, silver, aluminum, and zinc always form type I ionic compounds.

  • type II ionic compounds - metal can form more than one type of cation so its charge must be specified by using a Roman numeral. Transition metals (iron, chromium, manganese, etc.) usually form more than one type of cation.

Which type of compound is PbSO3_3? Can lead have more than one oxidation state?
