Chemical formula. Na 2 Se: Molar mass: 124.951 g·mol −1 Density: ... Sodium selenide is an inorganic compound of sodium and selenium with the chemical formula Na 2 Se.
A selenide is a chemical compound containing a selenium with oxidation number of −2. Similar to sulfide , selenides occur both as inorganic compounds and as organic derivatives, which are called organoselenium compound .
Sodium hydroselenide is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Na Se H. It is a salt of hydrogen selenide. It consist of sodium cations Na + and hydroselenide anions − SeH. Each unit consists of one sodium, one selenium, and one hydrogen atom. Sodium hydroselenide is a selenium analog of sodium hydroxide NaOH.
A hydroselenide (or biselenide or selanide) is an ion or chemical compound containing the [SeH] − ion. The radical HSe is a pseudohalogen.Hydroselenide can be a ligand in transition metal complexes where it can be attached to a single atom, or bridge two atoms.
Sodium selenate is the inorganic compound with the formula Na 2 SeO 4. It exists as the anhydrous salt, the heptahydrate, and the decahydrate. [1] These are white, water-soluble solids. The decahydrate is a common ingredient in multivitamins and livestock feed as a source of selenium. The anhydrous salt is used in the production of some glass.
In presence of a β-hydrogen, a selenide will give an elimination reaction after oxidation, to leave behind an alkene and a SeO-selenoperoxol. The SeO-selenoperoxol is highly reactive and is not isolated as such. In the elimination reaction, all five participating reaction centers are coplanar and, therefore, the reaction stereochemistry is syn.
Selenium is toxic in high concentrations. As sodium selenite, the chronic toxic dose for human beings was described as about 2.4 to 3 milligrams of selenium per day. [7] In 2000, the US Institute of Medicine set the adult Tolerable upper intake levels (UL) for selenium from all sources - food, drinking water and dietary supplements - at 400 μg/day. [8]
Selenous acid (or selenious acid) is the chemical compound with the formula H 2 SeO 3. Structurally, it is more accurately described by O=Se(OH) 2 . It is the principal oxoacid of selenium ; the other being selenic acid .
