lyijyoksidit
Lyijyoksidit is a Finnish term referring to lead oxides. These are chemical compounds composed of lead and oxygen. The most common lead oxides are lead(II) oxide (PbO) and lead(IV) oxide (PbO2), also known as plumbous oxide and plumbic oxide respectively. Lead(II) oxide exists in two crystalline forms, litharge (yellow) and massicot (reddish-yellow). Lead(IV) oxide is a dark brown or black solid.
Lead oxides are formed through the oxidation of lead metal. Lead(II) oxide can be produced by heating
These oxides have various industrial applications. Lead(II) oxide is used in the manufacturing of glass, ceramics,
Lead oxides are generally considered toxic and should be handled with care. Exposure can occur through inhalation
