Question

What is the name of `PbO`?

Answer 1

Lead (II) oxide.

Explanation:

Look for Pb and O on the periodic table. You will see that Pb is lead and O is oxygen. Pb has zero charge and O has a -2 charge. When you flip the charges Pb now has positive 2 and O has the zero charge. This is why it comes out as Lead (II) oxide.
