You get Germanium Dioxide and Hydrochloric acid GeCl4 + H2O = GeO2 + 4HCl
because of germanium oxide´s (GeO2) high refractive index, about 10% of worldwide germanium consumption is from optical uses such as lenses to cameras and centres of fibre cablesanother use of germanium is as a catalyst for polymerisation of polyethylene terephthalate, the plastic in most water bottles. germanium is also used in an alloy with silicon for semiconductors that can be faster then those with only silicon.
germanium reacts naturally
Germanium is Ge.
Yes, germanium is an element.
no
You get Germanium Dioxide and Hydrochloric acid GeCl4 + H2O = GeO2 + 4HCl
No, it is a crumbly water soluble solid.
Germanium compounds are toxic.

Germanium does no "do" anything.
Germanium is not manufactured; its ore is mined then refined into germanium.
To test the water
Germanium is a semiconductor

Germanium is Ge.
No, germanium is very brittle.
