If you remove 2 protons from a germanium atom, it would become a gallium atom. Gallium has an atomic number of 31, while germanium has an atomic number of 32.
A germanium atom with 2 less protons would be an atom of silicon. Silicon has an atomic number of 14, while germanium has an atomic number of 32. By removing 2 protons from germanium, you end up with an atom with an atomic number of 30, which corresponds to silicon.
If the -2 ion has 34 protons, it means the ion has a charge of -2 but still has 34 protons, making it a germanium ion (Ge2-). This is because germanium has 32 protons in its neutral state, and gaining two electrons to become an ion with a charge of -2 keeps the number of protons the same.

If you remove 2 protons and 2 neutrons from gold (Au), the resulting element would be platinum (Pt). Gold has 79 protons and 118 neutrons, while platinum has 77 protons and 116 neutrons.
Germanium, which has 32 electrons and protons, has 4 energy levels or electron shells. There are 2 electrons in the 1st shell, 8 in the 2nd shell, 18 in the 3rd shell and 4 in the 4th shell.
The outer electron configuration for germanium is 4s^2 4p^2. Germanium has 4 valence electrons in the outermost shell.
The formula for germanium(II) carbonate is GeCO3.
Germanium has a greater first ionization energy than gallium because germanium has a smaller atomic size and thus a stronger nuclear charge, making it more difficult to remove an electron. Additionally, the electronic configuration of germanium (4d^10 5s^2 5p^2) is more stable compared to gallium (4d^10 5s^2 5p^1), resulting in a higher ionization energy.
Helium, number two on the periodic table of elements. Nothing else has two protons, for to remove a proton or add a proton is to change the element.
The chemical formula for germanium sulfite is Ge(SO3)2
Germanium has 18 inner shell electrons.
