Lead(II) chromate

Lead(II) chromate is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula PbCrO4. It has a vivid yellow color and is generally insoluble. Two polymorphs of lead chromate are known, orthorhombic and the more stable monoclinic form. Monoclinic lead chromate is used in paints under the name chrome yellow, and many other names. It occurs also as the mineral crocoite.
