(a(i))[1]
Use the Periodic Table to state how many electron shells are occupied in a lead atom.
(a(ii))[1]
Use the Periodic Table to state how many electrons are in the outer shell of a lead atom.
(b)[3]
Describe, with the aid of a labelled diagram, the metallic bonding present in lead.
(c)[1]
Give two physical properties of lead that are common to all metals.
(d)[1]
Lead(II) ethanoate is a white crystalline soluble salt. Name a suitable acid and insoluble base combination used to make lead(II) ethanoate.
(e)[2]
Aqueous lead(II) ethanoate is mixed with aqueous sodium iodide. A yellow precipitate of lead(II) iodide, $\text{PbI}_2$, forms. Construct the ionic equation, with state symbols, for this reaction.
(f)[1]
Explain why solid lead(II) iodide is not suitable for electrolysis.
