What is germanium combined with to make compounds?
Germanium is most commonly combined with silicon, oxygen and hydrogen
What 2 molecules contain germanium?
Many simple organic compounds can have germanium substituted for some or all of the carbon. This gives many thousands of different molecules.
What is the formula of the hydride formed by germanium?
GeH4, also called germane.
What types of compounds are formed by covalent bonds?
Covalent compounds are formed by covalent bonds.
What occurs when new compounds are formed?
a mixed compound accours when new compounds are formed
Is germanium formed naturally?
Germanium is a naturally occurring element, but does not occur in pure form on the Earth (only in compounds).
Is germanium toxic?
Germanium compounds are toxic.
What is germanium combined with to make compounds?
Germanium is most commonly combined with silicon, oxygen and hydrogen
Is germanium chloride a solid or gas?
If you are referring to germanium tetrachloride, it is a colorless liquid. If you are referring to germanium dichloride, it is a yellow solid. Germanium does not have any chloride compounds that are gaseous at STP.
What makes germanium stronger?
When germanium is combined with hydrogen a chemical compound GeH4(Germanium hydride), is formed and when combined with air it is explosive.
What is the shape of unit crystal that is formed when one germanium atom is bonded with four other germanium atoms?
Tetrahedral
What are compounds formed by?
Compounds are formed by the reaction of two or more elements.
Can compounds be formed by sharing electrons?
Yes. Compounds formed by sharing electrons are called covalent compounds.
What compound would form between germanium and fluorine if the molecule contains only one germanium atom and only single bonds are formed?
Germanium fluorides are: GeF2 and GeF4.
What 2 molecules contain germanium?
Many simple organic compounds can have germanium substituted for some or all of the carbon. This gives many thousands of different molecules.
Most common oxidation numbers of germanium?
+4 in its compounds 0 in the elemental form
What are compounds that are formed by elements?
Today are known approx. 65.106 chemical compounds.
