Is germanium a insulator of electricity?
Germanium is a semiconductor
Is germanium a conductor or an insulator?
neither, germanium is a semiconductor
What is the resistivity of germanium if they compared to glass?
glass is an insulator, germanium is a metalloid.
Is germanium a conductor or a insulator?
conductor
What is definition of semiconductor?
those material having conductivity between insulator and good conductor are known as semiconductors for example germanium and silicon.
What is the definition of semicondutor?
A semiconductor is a substance or material that conducts electricity better than an insulator but not as well as a conductor. Examples of semiconductors include silicon and germanium.
Which material is likely to slow the flow of electric charges the most copper germanium or PVC plastic?
PVC plastic would be the best insulator.
Why geranium is known semi conductors?
A geranium is a flower, and not a semiconductor. The element Germanium, however, is a semiconductor, which means it has an electrical conductivity somewhere between that of a metal and an insulator.
How is germanium used inside computer chips?
It is not, silicon is. It is not possible to make ICs commercially using germanium (mostly because its oxide is crumbly and water soluble unlike silicon's oxide which is a stable and insoluble insulator, which means germanium ICs must be wired by hand under a microscope which is too costly for production). This means that germanium is limited to usage in discrete components (transistors & diodes) only. Some work is being done using silicon-germanium alloy for ICs, but it is not in the market yet.
What does it mean for a substance to be semiconductor?
A substance as germanium or silicon whose electrical conductivity is intermediate between that of a metal and an insulator; its conductivity increases with temperature and in the presence of impurities. :) Hope that helped;)
Is steel a conductor or an insulator?
Yes Every metal is a conductor because of the free electrons (Except Silicon and Germanium; They are semi-metals) Yes, steel is a conductor
Is germanium toxic?
Germanium compounds are toxic.
