Properties and Uses Boiling point 1810° F Melting point °F Color is a slivery -grey or slivery-white In air tellurium burns in a greenish-blue flame making the dioxide Tellurium can have greater conductivity if its atoms are in a certain alignment Tellurium’s conductivity can also increase if it is exposed to light If tellurium is molten it corrodes copper, iron, and stainless steel Sliver, copper, gold, tin, or other elements can be doped with tellurium Tellurium is used for tinting Tellurium can be used in ceramics Tellurium is used for tinting glass Tellurium is added to lead to prevent corrosion and strength Tellurium is used to improve machinability in copper and stainless steel Tellurium is alloyed into cast iron for chill control Tellurium is used in chalcogenide glasses Tellurium is used as an ingredient in blasting caps

Facts Tellurium was discovered in 1782 by Franz Joseph Muller von Reichenstein Tellurium was discovered in Transylvania In 1798 it was named by Martin Heinrich Klaproth Tellurium came from the Latin word tellus that means earth Tellurium can be found in copper, gold, and suffer Tellurium can be found in Canada, Montana, Utah, Arizona, and Peru Tellurium is not a very abundant element Tellurium occurs in small amounts in minerals like altaite and petize Tellurium can be found in dioxide form Tellurium was isolated by Martin Heinrich Klaproth after he named it
