What kind of bond will germanium and Fluorine form?
It will form an ionic bond. It will form GeF4 or Germanium QuadFloride.
What is mass number of germanium?
Germanium has five naturally occurring isotopes ranging in atomic mass number from 70 to 76. The number given in the periodic table is: 72,63
What is the form of germanium at 20C?
crystalline solid
Does germanium form a monatomic or diatomic in pure form?
Neither, it is a crystalline solid in pure form.
Is germanium a stable element?
There are 4 stable natural isotopes of Ge: 70, 72, 73 , 74. 76Ge (also a natural isotope, 7,44 %) has longest half-life of all known radioisotopes as well. Of course, the artificial isotopes are unstable.
How many isotopes does germanium have?
Germanium has 9 isotopes.
How many radioactive isotopes are there in germanium?
Natural germanium has only one radioactive isotope - germanium 76. 27 artificial radioisotopes of germanium are known.
What are the most common isotopes of germanium?
69 and 67
What kind of bond will germanium and Fluorine form?
It will form an ionic bond. It will form GeF4 or Germanium QuadFloride.
What is mass number of germanium?
Germanium has five naturally occurring isotopes ranging in atomic mass number from 70 to 76. The number given in the periodic table is: 72,63
How many neutrons in a single atom of germanium -74?
Germanium-72 has 32 protons and 40 neutrons. In nuclear physics nomenclature, the number represents the total number of protons and neutrons. Since all germanium isotopes have 32 protons, the remaining value after subtracting 32 is the number of neutrons (ex. 72-32 = 40).
Do isotopes exist independently to form an element or do all the isotopes when combined constitute an element?
The ratio of isotopes are constant throughout the universe. In any random sample of any element, there will be a consistent ratio of isotopes of that element. This is what makes radiocarbon dating of ancient organic material possible.
What is the nuclear composition of the five naturally occurring isotopes of germanium having mass numbers of 70 72 73 and 76?
Each one has 32 protons, because that is the atomic number of germanium. The remaining nuclear mass is due to neutrons, of which there are 38, 40, 41, and 44 respectively from the lightest to the heaviest of these isotopes.
What is the form of germanium at 20C?
crystalline solid
What do you call a germanium atom with two less neutrons?
an isotope of germanium. There are 5 stable isotopes of germanium (70, 72, 73, 74, and 76), so with two less neutrons than these you could have these isotopes (68, 70, 71, 72, or 74) of which the isotopes 68 and 71 are radioactive.
Is germanium formed naturally?
Germanium is a naturally occurring element, but does not occur in pure form on the Earth (only in compounds).
Is germanium chloride a solid or gas?
If you are referring to germanium tetrachloride, it is a colorless liquid. If you are referring to germanium dichloride, it is a yellow solid. Germanium does not have any chloride compounds that are gaseous at STP.
