Oxidation States of Tellurium (Te) [& Origin, Uses, Discovery ... 2022

Atoms may form different ions and have different oxidation states, even Tellurium. Ok, so what are the common oxidation states for an atom of Te?

Note: Learn more about the oxidation states here.

In the case of Tellurium the most common oxidation states is (-2,(4),6). There are also cool facts about Tellurium that most don't know about. Let me show you...

Video

Are you having trouble understanding the basics of atomic elements? This video will walk you through:
  • What is an element
  • What is a substance
  • What Elements look like
  • How a small number of atoms can be joined and form completely different substances

Citation

When you need to include a fact or piece of information in an assignment or essay you should also include where and how you found that piece of information.

That gives credibility to your paper and it is sometimes required in higher education.

To make your life (and citation) easier just copy & paste the information below into your assignment or essay:

Luz, Gelson. "Oxidation States of Tellurium (Te) [& Origin, Uses, Discovery ..." Materials. Gelsonluz.com. dd mmmm. yyyy. <URL>

Now replace dd, mmmm and yyyy with the day, month, and year you browsed this page. Also replace URL for the actual url of this page (The < and > stay, ok?). This citation format is based on MLA.
