Hydrogen telluride is the inorganic compound with the formula H 2 Te.A hydrogen chalcogenide and the simplest hydride of tellurium, it is a colorless gas.Although unstable in ambient air, the gas can exist long enough to be readily detected by the odour of rotting garlic at extremely low concentrations; or by the revolting odour of rotting leeks at somewhat higher concentrations.
The telluride ion is the anion Te 2− and its derivatives. It is analogous to the other chalcogenide anions, the lighter O 2−, S 2−, and Se 2−, and the heavier Po 2−. [1]In principle, Te 2− is formed by the two-e − reduction of tellurium.
Aluminium telluride is a very air-sensitive [3] dark grey to black solid. [1] It has a band gap of 2.4 eV. [4] The compound decomposes in humid air. [5]In its pure form, it occurs in at least two phases.
In chemistry, tellurate is a compound containing an oxyanion of tellurium where tellurium has an oxidation number of +6. In the naming of inorganic compounds it is a suffix that indicates a polyatomic anion with a central tellurium atom.
Structure of tellurium tetrachloride, tetrabromide and tetraiodide. The +2 oxidation state is exhibited by the dihalides, TeCl 2, TeBr 2 and TeI 2.The dihalides have not been obtained in pure form, [3]: 274 although they are known decomposition products of the tetrahalides in organic solvents, and the derived tetrahalotellurates are well-characterized:
Tellurium is a chemical element; it has symbol Te and atomic number 52. It is a brittle, mildly toxic, rare, silver-white metalloid . Tellurium is chemically related to selenium and sulfur , all three of which are chalcogens .
A tellurite tellurate is a chemical compound or salt that contains tellurite and tellurate anions [TeO 3] 2-[TeO 4] 2-. These are mixed anion compounds , meaning the compounds are cations that contain one or more anions.
Aluminium (or aluminum in North American English) is a chemical element; it has symbol Al and atomic number 13. Aluminium has a density lower than that of other common metals, about one-third that of steel. It has a great affinity towards oxygen, forming a protective layer of oxide on the surface when exposed to air.
