text: Tellurium displaces some of the nobler metals, such as gold and silver and to a less extent copper, from solutions of their salts, thus showing some resemblance to the metals, but its true position as a metalloid is well seen from its behaviour in the form of electrodes in alkaline solution, when, under the influence of the current, it dissolves at both electrodes, as positive Te•••• ions at the anode and as negative Te' ions at the cathode.
