Tellurium dioxide (TeO 2) is a solid oxide of tellurium. It is encountered in two different forms, the yellow orthorhombic mineral tellurite, β-TeO 2, and the synthetic, colourless tetragonal (paratellurite), α-TeO 2. [2] Most of the information regarding reaction chemistry has been obtained in studies involving paratellurite, α-TeO 2. [3]
Tellurium dioxide is formed by heating tellurium in air, where it burns with a blue flame. [2] Tellurium trioxide, β-TeO 3, is obtained by thermal decomposition of Te(OH) 6. The other two forms of trioxide reported in the literature, the α- and γ- forms, were found not to be true oxides of tellurium in the +6 oxidation state, but a mixture ...
3 in vacuum, disproportionating into tellurium dioxide, TeO 2 and elemental tellurium upon heating. [48] [49] Since then, however, existence in the solid phase is doubted and in dispute, although it is known as a vapor fragment; the black solid may be merely an equimolar mixture of elemental tellurium and tellurium dioxide. [50]
Due to the different size and chemical nature of Te 2− and O 2− the ions occupy different positions in the crystal structure. Some of these structures are layered. [2] Many of the crystal systems are tetragonal. One unusual structure has stacked tubes made from tellurium, with nested tubes of antimony oxide, which contain alkali metal. [3]
Tellurite is a oxyanion of tellurium with the formula TeO 2− 3. It is the ion of tellurous acid, and is chemically related to tellurium dioxide (TeO 2), whose mineral appearance also bears the name tellurite. Tellurites are typically colorless or white salts, which in some ways are comparable to sulfite. [3]

Tellurite is a rare oxide mineral composed of tellurium dioxide (Te O 2).. It occurs as prismatic to acicular transparent yellow to white orthorhombic crystals. It occurs in the oxidation zone of mineral deposits in association with native tellurium, emmonsite and other tellurium minerals.
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.
