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. The redox potential is −1.14 V. [2] Te(s) + 2 e − ↔ Te 2−
Crystallization of telluric acid solutions below 10 °C gives telluric acid tetrahydrate Te(OH) 6 ·4H 2 O. [3] It is an oxidising agent, as shown by the electrode potential for the reaction below, although it is kinetically slow in its oxidations. [4] Te(OH) 6 + 2 H + + 2 e − ⇌ TeO 2 + 4 H 2 O, E o = +1.02 V
Na 2 Te, like many related compounds with the formula M 2 X, adopts the antifluorite structure. Thus, in solid Na 2 Te each Te 2− ion is surrounded by eight Na + ions and each Na + ion is surrounded by four Te 2− ions. [3] Simple salts of the type M 2 X, where X is a monatomic anion, are not typically soluble in any solvent because they ...
Water can dissolve the other hydrogen chalcogenides (at least those up to hydrogen telluride), forming acidic solutions known as hydrochalcogenic acids. Although these are weaker acids than the hydrohalic acids , they follow a similar trend of acid strength increasing with heavier chalcogens, and also form in a similar way (turning the water ...
Tellurous acid is an inorganic compound with the formula H 2 TeO 3. It is the oxoacid of tellurium(IV). [2] This compound is not well characterized. An alternative way of writing its formula is (HO) 2 TeO. In principle, tellurous acid would form by treatment of tellurium dioxide with water, that is by hydrolysis.
Crystal structure of sodium tellurite, highlighting the pyramidal structure of the anion. Tellurite dianion is pyramidal, like selenite and sulfite. The anion has C 3v symmetry. Tellurites can be reduced to elemental tellurium by electrolysis or a strong reducing agent. When fused with nitrate salts, tellurite salts oxidize to tellurates (TeO 2 ...
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.
