Is it likely that an atom of te would substitute for an atom of o in a solid compound? yes no indeterminate

The correct answer is no.

Explanation:

Tellurium is a chemical element denoted by Te and having atomic number 52. It is mildly toxic, brittle, silver-white, and rare metalloid. The element is chemically related to sulfur and selenium, all three of which are chalcogens.  

Oxygen is a chemical element, that is, a substance, which comprises only one kind of atom. Its official chemical symbol is O and exhibits an atomic number 8, this signifies that an atom of oxygen possesses eight protons in its nucleus. In the given question, it is not likely that tellurium would replace for oxygen, as the two elements are highly unlike.

answer : one can design an experiment using a liquid and an additive that can be added to the liquid and observe the chemical changes in the reaction species.

one would need a beaker which is filled with a known amount of the liquid in which thermometer is placed to measure the temperature changes; after addition of the additive to the liquid solution one can note down the temperature change and find whether the reaction is endothermic or exothermic in nature. by subtracting the initial temperature value with the final temperature one can find the temperature changes.

various combinations of liquid and additive can be used. liquid in this case can be a known quantity of water and additives can be epsom salt or without epsom salt the experiment can be conducted to notice the changes. water and ice, hydrogen peroxide and dry yeast, vinegar and baking soda,etc.
