Lead (II) iodide is an ionic compound with the chemical formula PbI2. It's known for its bright yellow color and low solubility in water, often used as an indicator for precipitation reactions in chemistry labs.
Consider lead (II) iodide as your favorite yellow highlighter pen. Just like how your highlighter stands out brightly against white paper, lead (II) iodide stands out due to its vibrant yellow color when formed as precipitate during reactions!
Ionic Bond: The electrostatic attraction between positively and negatively charged ions.
