How many bonds can selenium form with hydrogen?

Each hydrogen can form one bond with selenium. Each selenium atom can form two bonds, one with each hydrogen (2 hydrogen atoms total).


What type of items contain selenium?

Plant foods are the major sources of selenium. Brazil nuts are the best natural source (100 grams of nuts provide about 1917 µg of selenium and 3,485% of recommended daily intake). NOTE: You should eat no more than one Brazil nut per day because of their very high selenium content, which can cause toxicity if you eat too much. Other good sources include sunflower seeds, macaroni, crimini mushrooms, and whole grains. The content of selenium in food depends on the selenium content of the soil where plants are grown. For example, soils in the high plains of northern Nebraska and the Dakotas have very high levels of selenium, while soils in some parts of China and Russia have very low amounts of selenium. Likewise, the selenium content of foods can vary. For example, the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food Composition Database lists the selenium content of Brazil nuts as 544 mcg of selenium per ounce, but values from other analyses vary widely.


What is the name formula and uses for one compound that selenium contain?
