- Definition of Te2:
Te2 is the chemical symbol for the molecule of nitrogen dioxide, also known as tellurium dioxide or dioxit tellurium in English. This is a chemical compound with the formula TeO2. The atomic mass of tellurium (Te) is 127.6 amu, so the atomic mass of Te2 is 255.2 amu. Te2 is a molecule composed of two tellurium atoms linked together. There are no ions in its structure.
- Properties of Te2:
2.1 Physical properties: Te2 appears as a solid at room temperature, is white, odorless, and does not provide information about pH level because it is not soluble in water.
2.2 Chemical properties: Te2 does not react easily with metals, acids, or salts. However, it can react with other non-metals.
- Common chemical equations:
Since Te2 does not react easily with other substances, there are not many examples of its chemical reactions.
- Synthesis of Te2:
4.1 Laboratory synthesis: Te2 can be synthesized from tellurium through the oxidation process. However, this process is often not carried out in the laboratory due to the requirement for strong oxidation conditions.
4.2 Industrial synthesis: Te2 is usually produced from the purification and processing of other tellurium resources.
