The most common isotope of Germanium has 40 neutrons.
Neutrons have a neutral electric charge their name comes from this. Neutrons can be found in the nucleus. Most atoms nuclei will have both protons and neutrons in them. Neutrons are responsible for many istopes of elements eg carbon12 has 6 protons and 6 neutrons in its nucleus, and the isotope carbon 14 has 6 protons and 8 neutrons in its nucleus.

Germanium has an atomic number of 32. The mass number of any isotope is defined as the sum of the numbers of neutrons and protons in each atomic nucleus, and the number of protons is the same as the atomic number. Therefore, the number of neutrons in Ge-73 is 73 - 32 or 41.
32 protons, 32 electrons. Ge-72 isotope has 40 neutrons

Germanium has 32 electrons and protons; the number of neutrons is specific for each isotope. Number of neutrons in a germanium isotope = Mass number - 32
All atoms have exactly one nucleus.
How many protrons and neutrons does silicon have in the nucleus?
There are 6 neutrons in a carbon nucleus.
32 protons, 32 electrons. Ge-72 isotope has 40 neutrons
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).
