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.

∙ 12y agoGermanium, like silicon, is a semiconductor. That means its conduction is not as good as those substances normally labeled as "conductors".

What conducts electricity other than metal?
carbon is not a metal and can conduct electricity
Can electricity travel through aluminum panels?
Yes, aluminium conducts electricity.
Will a zener diode work the same as a germanium diode?
No. An ordinary diode, be it silicon or germanium, conducts in one direction only, whereas a zener diode conducts in both directions, but at different voltages. An ordinary diode is used to rectify, using its forward bias characteristics, while a zener diode is used to regulate, using its reverse bias characteristics.
What are the properties of metal that make it a useful material for electricians?
It can be bent, and it conducts electricity.
Does copper conduct electricity better than stainless steel?
Yes. At normal temperatures copper conducts electricity better than almost any other metal; silver is slightly better.
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.
What are the metallic property?
conducts electricity conducts electricity
Are there no non-metals that conduct electricity well?
Graphite is a non metals which conducts electricity well.Also there are electric conducting non metal.Also many liquids conduct electricity.Semi conductors like Silicon,Germanium also conduct electricity.
Is germanium a insulator of electricity?
Germanium is a semiconductor
Is germanium a conductor of electricity?
Germanium is a semiconductor.
Is germanium a good conductor of electricity?
Germanium is a good conductor because it is between silicon and tin, its a metalloid. Tin can conduct electricity and so can germanium
What is the conducts?
That means how good something conducts electricity.
Is polyester a conductor of static electricity?
Not a good one. The phrase "conductor of static electricity" is basically nonsense. If something conducts electricity, then it conducts electricity.
Copper metal conducts electricity through electrons whereas it solved solution conducts electricity through ions do you agree?
no,if it is dissolved in solutions it conducts electricity through electron the electricity means flow of electrons.
What are the charged particles that move when a liquid conducts electricity?
Liquid conducts electricity due to movement of ions.
Is rubbidium conducts electricity?
Rubidium is silvery metal with a valence electron in its outer shell. It conducts electricity.
Conducts electricity in water?
No
