Yes, Germanium with the atomic number of 32 can combine with chlorine to make silicon phone cases
It will form an ionic bond. It will form GeF4 or Germanium QuadFloride.
A covalent bond
dative bond
Germanium chloride is a bond between a metal and a nonmetal. The electronegativity difference between these substances is great. Thus, this compound has an ionic bond.
All the elements except elements belonging to zero group (He, Ne, Ar, Kr and Xe which are inert in nature) can bond with other elements.

no they can bond with any other element
Carbon can bond with itself, and many other elements.
Almost every other element except the elements in group 18 bond with oxygen to form compounds.
All the elements except elements belonging to zero group (He, Ne, Ar, Kr and Xe which are inert in nature) can bond with other elements.
Germanium, metalloid with a similar structure to silicon- 4 covalent bonds per germanium atomPhosphorus, the most familiar form is white phosphorus which is molecular, consisting of P4 units, each P atom has 3 covalent bonds, other allotropes are not discrete molecules but all have 3 covalent bonds per P atomSelenium This is molecular in Se8 rings each Se atom has two covalent bondsChlorine this is a diatomic gas with a single covalent bond
