What does germanium do?
Germanium does no "do" anything.
Is germanium hazardous?
No. Germanium is a natural element and even marketed as a dietary supplement. It is possible to overdose on the supplement but only if one were to take too many supplements. It is highly unlikely that someone would encounter that high of Germanium levels naturally. That being said, the manufacture of Germanium Substrate for use in electronics (and photovoltaic solar panels) results in hazardous by-products. As a result, there is no cost-effective and safe (according to the EPA) way to produce Germanium Substrate in the U.S., without violating EPA regulations. Most of the Germanium Substrate production for use in the U.S.A. is done in Canada or other countries.
Is germanium a conductor or an insulator?
neither, germanium is a semiconductor
What is ge germanium used for?
An Important Use Of Germanium Is That It's A Semi-Conductor (Semiconductor.) A Semi-Conductor Will Only Conduct Things, Such As Heat, So Well, And Only So Many Of Times You Try.
What family is germanium in?
The Carbon Family
What acid can dissolve germanium?
Use Aquaregia
Is germanium toxic?
Germanium compounds are toxic.
Is germanium conducts electricity?
Germanium is a metal that conducts electricity and germanium crystals can be prepared in a manner allowing them to conduct electrify through their crystal lattice is one direction only, making germanium crystals valuable for use in transistors and rectifiers.
What does germanium do?
Germanium does no "do" anything.
Who is Germanium manufactured?
Germanium is not manufactured; its ore is mined then refined into germanium.
Which elements would you use to predict properties of ekasilicon?
Ekasilicon was the name appointed by Mendeleev to the undiscovered germanium; germanium has similar chemical properties to silicon and tin.
What are things made of germanium?
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.
