Abstract

The chalcogenide atoms (X = oxygen, sulfur, selenium, tellurium, polonium) form doubly charged monatomic anions, X^2–, which exist in crystalline salts. The question arises whether, once such salts are dissolved in water, such species persist, or do they hydrolyze completely to form the hydrochalcogenide anion.
