Answer:

Metals tend to form positive oxidation states. Here, Iron (I) has an oxidation state of +1 while Iron (II) has an oxidation state of +2. Similarly, Lead (I) has an oxidation state of +1 while Lead(II) has an oxidation state of +2. A change in oxidation state can rather cause significant changes in the compound.
