Properties
Hydrogen telluride is a toxic reactive gas. It easily decomposes to hydrogen and tellurium. It also burns in air to make tellurium dioxide and water. It has a very bad smell of decayed garlic. It is almost as acidic as phosphoric acid. It reacts with some metals and metal oxides to make tellurides.
Preparation
It is made by adding a strong acid to a telluride, such as sodium telluride.
Uses
Hydrogen telluride does not have many uses because it is very toxic and unstable.
