Discussion


The chemistry of the selenides parallels that of the sulfides.
Similar to sulfide, for an aqueous solution, selenide ion, Se2−, is prevalent only in very basic conditions. In neutral conditions, 'hydrogen selenide' ion, HSe, is most common. In acid conditions, hydrogen selenide, H2Se, is formed.
