The pure form of tellurium burns with a blue flame and forms tellurium dioxide (TeO ). It is brittle and is a poor conductor of electricity. It reacts with the halogens of group 17, but not with many metals. When it reacts with gold, it forms gold telluride. Tellurium is insoluble in water but readily reacts with nitric acid to produce tellurous acid. If inhaled, it produces a garlic-like odor on one s breath.
