Is germanium similar to arsenic?

This is not a good question, because it's really unclear what "similar" means. They have roughly the same density. (Yes) Their chemical reactions are somewhat different. (No) One allotrope of arsenic is grey and metallic in appearance and could reasonably be mistaken for germanium in a cursory visual examination. (Yes) Arsenic sublimes, germanium melts. (No) And so on. In order to answer the question, you'd need to define specifically what your criteria for considering things "similar" is.


Why germanium and arsenic would not be most similar?

Germanium and arsenic are both metalloids, but they have different physical and chemical properties. Germanium is a semiconductor commonly used in electronics, while arsenic is a toxic element with various applications in industry and agriculture. Their atomic structures and properties are not closely related, making them dissimilar.


What is the type of bond by germanium and arsenic?

Germanium and arsenic can form a covalent bond since they are both nonmetals and have similar electronegativities. This type of bond involves the sharing of electrons between the two atoms to achieve a stable electron configuration.


What metaloid elements are in period 4?

There is not one but there are two metalloids in Period 4 of the periodic table. They are germanium and arsenic. There is a link below to the Wikipedia post on the metalloids so you can have a look at them.


What is the chemical formula for germanium arsenide?

The chemical formula for germanium arsenide is GeAs. It consists of one atom of germanium (Ge) and one atom of arsenic (As) bonded together in a 1:1 ratio.
