It is used to make other tellurates such as sodium tellurate.

Sodium tellurate is a white solid.

Sodium tellurate is an example.

Tellurium is not particularly noted for its toxicity although as little as two grams of sodium tellurate, if administered, can be lethal.

Many compounds with a stoichiometry that suggests the presence of a metatellurate ion actually contain polymeric anions containing 6 coordinate tellurium(VI), for example sodium tellurate, NaTeO which contains octahedral tellurium centers sharing edges.
