What is SeO6? Important knowledge about SeO6.

First and foremost, it’s important to know that SeO₆ is not a valid molecular formula in chemistry. Selenium (Se) cannot combine with six oxygen atoms (O) to form a valid molecule. However, there’s a related compound that you might need to know about, which is SeO₃, also known as selenium trioxide.

1. Definition of SeO₃ (selenium trioxide):
   1.1 Names:
   1.1.1 Common name: Selenium trioxide
   1.1.2 English name: Selenium trioxide
   1.2 Atomic mass: 1 Selenium atom and 3 Oxygen atoms
   1.3 Atomic weight: 126.9045 (Se) + 3 -> *15.9994 (O) = 174.9027 g/mol
   1.3.1 Molecular structure: The SeO₃ molecule consists of one Se atom linked with three O atoms.
   1.4 Ion structure: SeO₃ does not form ions.

2. Properties of SeO₃:
   2.1 Physical properties of SeO₃:
   State: Solid
   Color: White
   Odor: Odorless
   pH: Not applicable as SeO₃ is a solid.
   2.2 Chemical properties of SeO₃: It is a strong oxidizing agent, can react with water to form selenic acid (H₂SeO₄).

3. Common chemical equation:
   Se + O₃ -> SeO₃, Oxidation reaction of selenium with ozone.

4. Synthesis of SeO₃:
   4.1 Laboratory synthesis of SeO₃: SeO₃ cannot be synthesized in the lab as it requires very high and complex conditions.
   4.2 Industrial synthesis of SeO₃: It can be synthesized by oxidizing selenium with ozone under higher conditions.
