Best Answer

The element that has three more electrons than a neutral germanium atom is bromine. You can determine this by the atomic number. The atomic number of an element is the number of protons in the nuclei of its atoms. In a neutral atom, this is also the number of electrons. So, the atomic number of germanium is 32, so its neutral atoms contain 32 protons and 32 electrons. Move to the right three more elements, and you get bromine with an atomic number of 35, so its neutral atoms contain 35 protons and electrons.

No. Germanium has four valence electrons, while iodine has seven.


Which element does gallium have more in common with germanium or indium?

Gallium has more in common with indium as they are both metals whereas germanium is a metalloid.


Why silicon has low leakage of current as compared to germanium?

Each has four valence electrons, but germanium will at a given temperature have more free electrons and a higher conductivity. Silicon is by far the more widely used semiconductor for electronics, partly because it can be used at much higher temperatures than germanium.

What is difference between silicon and germenium?

Carbon, silicon, germanium are all teravalent atoms (4 electrons in the outer shell). Each element becomes heavier, and (because there are more total electrons) is less "pure" in it's chemical (and electrical) responses.
