Industrial production of selenium often involves the extraction of selenium dioxide from residues obtained during the purification of copper . Common production begins by oxidation with sodium carbonate to produce selenium dioxide .
Selenium is made by oxidizing selenide ores to selenium dioxide .
Natural sources of selenium include certain selenium-rich soils , and selenium that has been bioconcentrated by certain plants . Anthropogenic sources of selenium include coal burning and the mining and smelting of sulfide ores .
Some coal has selenium in it .
Selenium dioxide is formed by the reaction of elemental selenium with oxygen :
Too much selenium is bad for a river . Some coal has selenium in it .
Selenium forms two oxides : selenium dioxide and selenium trioxide .
Selenium is made by oxidizing selenide ores to selenium dioxide . The selenium dioxide is dissolved in acidic water to make selenous acid , which is reacted with sulfur dioxide to make selenium as an element .
Other selenium halides include , , , and . Selenium dichloride , an important reagent in the study of selenium chemistry , may be prepared in pure form by reacting elemental selenium with ( ( sulfuryl chloride ) ) in THF solution .
The +1 state is found in some selenium compounds , such as selenium ( I ) chloride .
Selenium is a chemical element with the atomic number 34 , represented by the chemical symbol Se , an atomic mass of 78.96 .
It has the chemical symbol Se . It has the atomic number 34 .
Although selenium is an essential trace element , it is toxic if taken in excess .
Selenium is a trace element in the human body .
The Chinese people who suffered from selenium toxicity ingested selenium by eating corn grown in extremely selenium-rich stony coal ( carbonaceous shale ) . This coal was shown to have selenium content as high as 9.1 % , the highest concentration in coal ever recorded in literature .
Once there was coal that had a large amount of selenium in it .
In plants , it occurs as a bystander mineral , sometimes in toxic proportions in forage ( some plants may accumulate selenium as a defense against being eaten by animals , but other plants such as locoweed require selenium , and their growth indicates the presence of selenium in soil ) .
Sometimes selenium is concentrated in plants .
The selenium dioxide is then mixed with water and the solution is acidified to form selenous acid ( oxidation step ) . Selenous acid is bubbled with sulfur dioxide ( reduction step ) to give elemental selenium .
The selenium dioxide is dissolved in acidic water to make selenous acid , which is reacted with sulfur dioxide to make selenium as an element .
Selenium forms two oxides : selenium dioxide and selenium trioxide . Selenium dioxide is formed by the reaction of elemental selenium with oxygen :
Selenium compounds are not common .
Other selenides include mercury selenide ( HgSe ) , lead selenide ( PbSe ) , and zinc selenide ( ZnSe ) .
Hydrogen selenide is the acid made from selenide ion . Selenium also reacts with reactive metals to make selenides , such as sodium selenide or aluminium selenide .
Nickel nitrate is the chemical compound Ni ( NO3 ) 2 or any hydrate thereof . The anhydrous form is not commonly encountered , thus `` nickel nitrate '' usually refers to nickel ( II ) nitrate hexahydrate .
Nickel ( II ) nitrate , also known as nickelous nitrate , is a chemical compound .
The formula for this species is written in two ways . Ni ( NO3 ) 2.6 H2O and , more descriptively ( Ni ( H2O ) 6 ) ( NO3 ) 2 .
Its chemical formula is Ni ( NO3 ) 2 .

Reinforcement is required for both parapatric and sympatric speciation . Without reinforcement , the geographic area of contact between different forms of the same species , called their `` hybrid zone , '' will not develop into a boundary between the different species .
Reinforcement is required for separation when there is a `` hybrid zone '' between two forms of a species .

It has been suggested that many of the existing plant and most animal species have undergone an event of polyploidization in their evolutionary history .
Many of the existing plant and most animal species have apparently undergone polyploidization in their evolutionary history .
However , not all polyploids are reproductively isolated from their parental plants , and gene flow may still occur for example through triploid hybrid x diploid matings that produce tetraploids , or matings between meiotically unreduced gametes from diploids and gametes from tetraploids ( see also hybrid speciation ) .

The reasoning behind this is that if the parents of the hybrid offspring each have naturally selected traits for their own certain environments , the hybrid offspring will bear traits from both , therefore would not fit either ecological niche as well as either parent .

Some evidence , such as the fact that six out of thirteen allozyme loci are different , that hawthorn flies mature later in the season and take longer to mature than apple flies ; and that there is little evidence of interbreeding ( researchers have documented a 4-6 % hybridization rate ) suggests that sympatric speciation is occurring .

Polyploidy is a mechanism that has caused many rapid speciation events in sympatry because offspring of , for example , tetraploid x diploid matings often result in triploid sterile progeny .
