The Attempt at a Solution

I thought it was Pb₂(CrO₄)₂ - Lead Chromate.
Why is this wrong and how do I correct it?

 

[Bohrok]

When writing ionic compounds, you use the smallest number ratio between the ions; you don't always "switch" the charges. Instead of a 2:2 ratio, use a 1:1 ratio for the formula, PbCrO₄.
The name is wrong because you need to specify the charge of lead since it has a variable charge.

By the way...

Pb^{2+[/sub] = Plumbous
Pb4+[/sub] = Plumbic}

Is PbCrO₄ - Lead II Chromate correct?

 

[Borek]

Looks Ok to me, but Eglish nomenclature is not my forte.

That'll work too.

I just prefer the old system.

Lead(II) Chromate is good.
