The following net ionic equation correctly shows the result when a piece of zinc metal is added to an aqueous solution of lead(II) nitrate. After some time it was observed that the zinc metal appeared to fall apart and a solid had accumulated at the bottom of the reaction vessel.
Zn(s) + Pb²⁺(aq) $\rarr$ Zn²⁺(aq) + Pb(s)
