polonium occurs as a decay product of
thorium and uranium
gypsum
CaSO4.2H2O
epsom salt
MgSO4.7H2O
baryte
BaSO4
oxygen and sulphur are
non metals
selenium and telurium are
mettaloids
polonium
metal
half life 13.8 days
acidic characer increases from
H2O to H2Te
thermal stability of hydrides decreases from
H2o to H2Po
all the hydrides possess reducing property except
water
decreases from H2S to H2Te
reducing propert of oxides decreases from
SO2 to TeO2
So2 is reducing whersa TeO2 is oxidizing
H2S is less aciic than H2Te
due to decrease in bond dissociation down the group thus the acidic character increases
