${Pb(C}_{2} H_{3} O_{2})_{2}$ $"Pb(C"_2"H"_3"O"_2")"_2"$ is the compound lead(II) acetate. The bonds between the lead(II) cation and the two acetate anions are ionic, therefore, the compound lead(II) acetate is ionic.

Explanation:

One formula unit of ${Pb(C}_{2} H_{3} O_{2})_{2}$ $"Pb(C"_2"H"_3"O"_2")"_2"$ consists of one lead(II) cation $({Pb}^{2 +})$ $("Pb"^(2+)")$ ionically bonded to two polyatomic acetate anions $(C_{2} H_{3} O_{2})^{-}$ $("C"_2"H"_3"O"_2")"^-"$ .

${[Pb]}^{2 +} + 2 [C_{2} H_{3} O_{2}]^{-}$ $["Pb"]^(2+)"+ "2["C"_2"H"_3"O"_2"]"^(-)"$ $\to$ $rarr$ ${Pb(C}_{2} H_{3} O_{2})_{2}$ $"Pb(C"_2"H"_3"O"_2")"_2"$
