Sodium telluride Sodium telluride is the chemical compound with the formula NaTe. This salt is the conjugate base of the thermally unstable acid hydrogen telluride, but it is usually prepared by reduction of tellurium with sodium. NaTe is a challenging material to handle because it is very sensitive to air. Air oxidizes it initially to polytellurides, which have the formula NaTe (x > 1), and ultimately Te metal. Samples of NaTe, which are colourless when absolutely pure, generally appear purple or dark gray due to the effects of air oxidation.
