About Tellurium Dioxide
The main resultant of tellurium burning in the air is tellurium dioxide. Tellurium dioxide can barely solve in water but can completely solve in concentrated sulfuric acid. Tellurium dioxide shows instability with powerful acid and powerful oxidant. As tellurium dioxide is amphoteric matter, it can react to acid or alkaline in the solution.
As tellurium dioxide has a very high possibility of causing deformity and is poisonous, when absorbed into the body, it can produce an odor (tellurium smell) similar to the smell of garlic in the breath. This kind of matter is the dimethyl tellurium generated by the metabolism of tellurium dioxide.
