Tellurium

About Tellurium (Te)

Symbol: Te
Atomic number: 52
Atomic weight: 127.60
Element category: metalloid
Tellurium is a brittle, lustrous, silver-white metalloid and is mildly toxic. It has two allotropes, crystalline and amorphous. Crystalline tellurium is silver-white, and amorphous tellurium is a black-brown powder.
Tellurium is a semiconductor and is frequently alloyed with aluminium, copper, lead, or tin. When added to stainless steel and copper, it increases machinability. Tellurium can also be used in cadmium telluride (CdTe) solar panels.
Tellurium forms many compounds, but none of them are commercially important.
