Lead's ionic charge is variable. It is either +2 or +4 depending on the properties of the anions. These charges can also be referred to as "common ionic charge".
Example of Pb+2 ionic charge:
Lead(II) phosphide
Pb+2 and P-3
Pb3P2
Example of Pb+4 ionic charge:
Lead(IV) Sulfate
Pb+4 and (SO4) -2
Pb2(SO4)4 simplified -> Pb(SO4)2
An ion of Sodium has a charge of +1. A Sodium atom loses one electron to become an ion, making it a positive ion.
An iodide ion has a charge of 1-.
+2
2+
Pb is in the p block. It forms Pb+2 ion.
The systematic name of this compound is Lead(II) Sulfate(VI), and the common name is lead sulfate.
Lead carbonate is a neutral compound it contains Pb+2 and CO3-2 ions.
Lead being a transition metal has two possible charges: +2 or +4.
The ionic charge of Californium is 3+.
Oxygen has a charge of -2, so the oxidation number of lead is Pb+2

In ionic chlorine compounds, the ionic charge of chlorine is -1.
The ionic number is the positive or negetive charge an element has, such as Lithium has an ionic charge of +1.
Lead nitride is an ionic compound.
Ionic
Molecules can be ionic OR covalent, but not both. PbI2 (lead iodine), however, is ionic.
