What are the propeties of tellurium?

Answer 1

It has a very metallic silvery-white appearance. It is brittle & unreactive with water and sum acids. It has side affects to humans...It gives them major garlic breath and body odor. It is grown in crystalline form. Its conductivity increases slightly with exposure to light. it is used to color class and blasting caps. It has a semiconductor and is freqently droped with copper,tin,gold or silver. Tellurium will burn with oxygen to create a green-blue flame It was discovered by Franz Muller Von Reichenstein in 1782. tellurium is extremely rare. atomic # is 52

atomis mass is 128 # of protons is 26

# of neutrons is 76

# of electrons is 26 melting point-450 c.

Boiling point-1390 c.

normal phase-solid classsification-metalloid

and

part of the oxygen family. Came from the latin word for earth (teelus)

Tellurium is quite expensive: $100 per lb at 99.5% purity.
