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.
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 ...
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−
5 structural group occurs in a number of compounds such as HOTeF 5, B(OTeF 5) 3, Xe(OTeF 5) 2, Te(OTeF 5) 4 and Te(OTeF 5) 6. [4] The square antiprismatic anion TeF 2− 8 is also attested. [5] The other halogens do not form halides with tellurium in the +6 oxidation state, but only tetrahalides (TeCl 4, TeBr 4 and TeI 4) in the +4 state, and ...
Telluric acid, or more accurately orthotelluric acid, is a chemical compound with the formula Te(OH) 6, often written as H 6 TeO 6. It is a white crystalline solid made up of octahedral Te(OH) 6 molecules which persist in aqueous solution. [ 3 ]
This salt is the conjugate base of the thermally unstable acid hydrogen telluride, but it is usually prepared by reduction of tellurium with sodium. Na 2 Te is a challenging material to handle because it is very sensitive to air. Air oxidizes it initially to polytellurides, which have the formula Na 2 Te x (x > 1), and ultimately Te metal.
These are mixed anion compounds, meaning the compounds are cations that contain one or more anions. Some have third anions. Some have third anions. Environmentally, tellurite [TeO 3 ] 2- is the more abundant anion due to tellurate's [TeO 4 ] 2- low solubility limiting its concentration in biospheric waters.
The structure of metatellurate and orthotellurate 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.
