What is germanium state at room temperature?
Germanium at room temperature is in the state of a Solid
What is the state of matter for the element germanium?
Germanium is a solid at room temperature.
What is the normal phase of the element germanium?
the word phase also means its state so in that case germanium's normal phase or state is solid the word phase also means its state so in that case germanium's normal phase or state is solid the word phase also means its state so in that case germanium's normal phase or state is solid
What is the ionic charge for germanium?
Germanium is in the fourth period of the periodic table. It exhibits two oxidation states GeII and GeIV This tendency for a lower oxidation state is termed the "inert pair effect". Looking at the halides GeF2 is a volatile white solid with an unusual structure which does not suggest that the bonding is ionic. GeCl4 is a covalent molecular compound like CCl4 and SiCl4 the oxides GeO2 and GeO are both known but GeO is unstable disproportionates to GeO2 and metallic germanium. In the oxides the bonding but like silicon oxides, it is best described as covalent. So in summary Ge2+ and Ge4+ (and these will probably be present in mass spectrometer beams) with the proviso that ions with a 4+ charge in reality are so strongly polarising that they will form bonds with a degree of covalency.
What are the advantages over germanium?
I assume you mean the advantages of Silicon over Germanium in semiconductor devices.Some of them are:Silicon will operate at junction temperatures up to 150C; Germanium will only operate at junction temperatures up to about 60C.Silicon oxides and nitrides are solid insulators, allowing formation of passivation layers over the edges of junctions and thus usage of non-hermetic plastic packages; Germanium oxides and nitrides are not insulators, leaving the edges of junctions exposed and open to surface contaminates forcing usage of metal or glass hermetic packaging, which costs more, to prevent device failure.Silicon ICs are simple to make using just photolithography processes; Germanium ICs would require manual wiring of the components after they were created using photolithography processes, making Germanium ICs impractical for mass production.etc.
What is the natural state of germanium?
The natural state of germanium is a solid (metalloid).
What is germanium state at room temperature?
Germanium at room temperature is in the state of a Solid
What is the state of matter for the element germanium?
Germanium is a solid at room temperature.
What are normal oxides?
Normal oxides contain oxygen with the oxidation state 2-.

Does germanium have four electrons in its outer shell?
In its ground state it does.
What is sulfur Oxides?
Sulfur oxides are the oxides of sulfur with oxygen in -2 oxidation state. There are two main oxides of sulfur. They are sulfur dioxide (SO2) and sulfur trioxide (SO3).
Does germanium have 4 electrons?
No. Germanium in the ground state has 32 electrons, 4 of these are valence electrons which can participate in chemical reactions. Perhaps that is where you are getting confused.
What is the Oxidation number of GeCl2?
In GeCl2 germanium is in the 2+ oxidation state and chlorine is in the 2- oxidation state.
