The correct name is for this formula is Lead (IV) Sulfate.
The molecular weight for PB2 (SO4)4 is 303g/mol. This consists of Lead (Pb), Sulfur(S), and Oxygen (O), the atomic weight for lead is 207.2 and a mass percentage of 51.89. The atomic weight of Sulphur is 32.065 u and oxygen has an atomic mass 16. It also has 16 atoms.

Lead sulfate appears to be a white crystalline solid. When it comes in contact with the skin, it may irritate it. Lead Sulfate is insoluble in water and it sinks in water. Its melting point is 1170 degree Celsius. When it is heated to decomposition, it emits vey toxic fumes of lead oxide and Sulphur oxide. It has a refractive index of 1.877,1.822 and 1.894. When it is absorbed by skin, inhaled or ingested it is mildly toxic.

Pb2(SO4)4 can also be called Plumbic Sulphate as its common while Lead(IV) Sulfate is its systematic name. Either is correct as long as it did not specify to write the common or systematic name of Pb2(SO4)4.
