Leadoxide constitutes a family of compounds with varying numbers of oxygen atoms per molecule, depending on the valence state (+2 or +4) of the lead, and varying crystal morphs, even with the same chemical formulas.
A mixture of 70 percent lead monoxide and 30 percent metallic lead, sometimes referred to as fl or gray oxide, is used to manufacture lead acid batteries.
Lead (IV) oxide is used as an industrial oxidizing agent, in storage batteries, and in the textile industry.
