Chemical properties
CdTe is insoluble in water. CdTe has a high melting point of 1,041 °C (1,906 °F) with evaporation starting at 1,050 °C (1,920 °F). CdTe has a vapor pressure of zero at ambient temperatures. CdTe is more stable than its parent compounds cadmium and tellurium and most other Cd compounds, due to its high melting point and insolubility.
