Occasionally found native, tellurium ([Kr]4d105s25p4) (CAS 13494-80-9) ) is more often found in combination with other metals. It is silvery-white, lustrous, brittle, and crystalline. (Amorphous tellurium is dark gray to brown and has metal characteristics. As a p-type semiconductor, it shows greater conductivity in certain directions. Tellurium is used to improve the machinability of copper and stainless steel. When combined with lead, tellurium increases resistance to sulfuric acid while improving strength and hardness.
