Why can't extrinsic semiconductors be fabricated from bivalent and hexavalent elements?

My thinking is ... If intrinsinc semicoductor is doped with Hexavalent Impurity, then energy level of outermost orbit of hexavalent atom, will fall below than that of pentavalent atom, so more amout of energy will be required to move this newly generated electron to move from fermi level to conduction band of semicondoctor. And vice versa for Bavalent.

How can hexavalent chromium be harmful on the nose throat and lungs?

Hexavalent chromium can be harmful when inhaled, leading to irritation and damage to the mucous membranes in the nose and throat. Exposure can cause respiratory issues, including coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath. Prolonged inhalation may result in more severe conditions, such as lung cancer and chronic respiratory diseases. Overall, it poses significant health risks due to its toxic and carcinogenic properties.

Can hexavalent chromium be generated from grinding?

I didn't think it was possible but apparently it is (from grinding stainless steel, that is). I guess if the chromium metal gets hot enough from the friction of the grinding wheel, then some of the chrome will convert to chrome 6. Below is a link. See Table 2. Also see the authors comment before Table 2: "Surprisingly the highest numbers are from arc-air, grinding and welding". The report doesn't give many details. it would have been nice to know if maybe these welders were working in an area with another possible source of chrome 6 such as welding.
