<!-- Not a disambiguation page per WP:DABCONCEPT!--> '''Lead oxides''' are a group of inorganic compounds with formulas including lead (Pb) and oxygen (O).
Common lead oxides include:
* Lead(II) oxide, PbO, litharge (α-PbO, tetragonal, red), massicot (β-PbO, orthorhombic, yellow) * Lead tetroxide or ''red lead'', {{chem2|Pb3O4}}, minium, which is a lead (II,IV) oxide and may be thought of as lead(II) orthoplumbate(IV) {{chem2|[Pb(2+)]2[PbO4(4−)]}}, vivid orange crystals * Lead dioxide (lead(IV) oxide), {{chem2|PbO2}}, dark-brown or black powder, scrutinyite (α-{{chem2|PbO2}}, orthorhombic), plattnerite (β-{{chem2|PbO2}}, tetragonal)
Less common lead oxides are: * Lead sesquioxide, {{chem2|Pb2O3}}, which is a lead (II,IV) oxide as well (lead(II) metaplumbate(IV) {{chem2|[Pb(2+)][PbO3(2-)]}}), reddish yellow * {{chem2|Pb12O17}} * {{chem2|Pb12O19}}, monoclinic, dark-brown or black crystals * The so-called ''black lead oxide'', which is a mixture of PbO and fine-powdered Pb metal and used in the production of lead–acid batteries.
