CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
| Physical Description | Lead fluoride is an odorless white solid. Sinks in water. (USCG, 1999) |
|---|---|
| Color/Form | White to colorless crystals |
| Odor | Odorless |
| Boiling Point | 1293 °C |
| Melting Point | 830 °C |
| Solubility | Dimorphous: orthorhombic, converted to cubic above 316 °C; Solubility increases in the presence of nitric acid or nitrates |
