Translation guide
Lead oxide refers to chemical compounds of lead and oxygen, primarily encountered in technical, industrial, or scientific contexts. The most common forms are lead(II) oxide (PbO) and lead(IV) oxide (PbO₂).
The most common lead oxide, used in glass, ceramics, and batteries.
Standard chemical name for lead(II) oxide, PbO. Used in technical and scientific contexts.
酸化鉛(II)はガラスの製造に使われる。
Lead(II) oxide is used in glass manufacturing.
Common name for lead monoxide, PbO. Often used in industrial contexts.
一酸化鉛は黄色い粉末です。
Lead monoxide is a yellow powder.
Traditional name for litharge, a mineral form of PbO. Rare, mainly historical or in art contexts.
密陀僧は顔料として使われた。
Litharge was used as a pigment.
The dioxide form, used in batteries and as an oxidizing agent.
Standard chemical name for lead(IV) oxide, PbO₂.
酸化鉛(IV)は強力な酸化剤です。
Lead(IV) oxide is a strong oxidizing agent.
Common name for lead dioxide, PbO₂. Frequently used in battery technology.
二酸化鉛は鉛蓄電池の正極に使われる。
Lead dioxide is used in the positive electrode of lead-acid batteries.
Less common forms like red lead or lead sesquioxide.
Red lead, Pb₃O₄, used in anti-corrosion paints and primers.
四酸化三鉛は防錆塗料に含まれている。
Red lead is contained in anti-rust paint.
Traditional Japanese name for red lead (minium), used historically in pigments and sealants.
鉛丹は昔、顔料や漆喰に使われた。
Red lead was used in the past for pigments and plaster.
In scientific contexts, it's important to distinguish between PbO and PbO₂. Use the Stock notation (酸化鉛(II) or 酸化鉛(IV)) or the common names (一酸化鉛, 二酸化鉛) to avoid ambiguity.
All lead compounds are toxic. When discussing lead oxide, be aware of safety regulations and handling precautions. In Japanese, you may encounter 有害 (ゆうがい, harmful) or 毒性 (どくせい, toxicity) in related contexts.
