Hydrogen telluride is the
chemical compound with the formula
H2Te. It is the simplest hydride of tellurium.
Physical description
Most compounds with Te-H bonds are unstable with respect to loss of H
2, and H
2Te follows this pattern. H
2Te is chemically similar to
hydrogen selenide, both are reactive, acidic species with H-X-H angles approaching 90°.
Synthesis
H
2Te is prepared by the acidification of salts of Te
2−, such as Al
2Te
3 and Na
2Te. Na
2Te can be generated by the reaction of Na and Te in anhydrous
ammonia.
Popular culture
The strong, unpleasant odour of H
2Te was remarked upon in a scene in the
Doctor Who serial
The Krotons (1968/9), when it was described as "the worst smell in the world".
