Is AlH4- polar or non polar?
GeH4 is tetrahedral- (same as methane) - any polarity in the Ge-H bonds cancels each other out - do the molecule is non-polar.
Is GeH2 an Interstitial hydride?
No. GeH2 is a methylene analog and is not well characterised. It has been stabilised in complexes and this idicates that it is a covaent molecule. The best characterised hydride of Germanium is GeH4 germane, and related GenH2n+2 alkane analogs , where n=2 - 5. these ar all covalent molecules.
What is the shape of GeH4?
Its a tetrahedral
The electron geometry for GeH4?
Tetrahedral
What is the molecular compound name for GeH4?
GeH4 is called germane, germanium hydride, geranium tetrahydride, or monogermane.
What is the hybridization of the central atom in GeH4?
sp3 bond angle is 109.5
What is the formula of the hydride formed by germanium?
GeH4, also called germane.
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.
Is AlH4- polar or non polar?
GeH4 is tetrahedral- (same as methane) - any polarity in the Ge-H bonds cancels each other out - do the molecule is non-polar.
Is GeH stable?
germanium monhydride is not a stable molecule. Germanium in group 14 of the periodic table has 4 valence electrons (like carbon) and the stablest form is GeH4 , germane. See wikipedia article on germane

Which common elements Bond to germanium?
Oxygen to form Ge2O3 and GeO, sulfur to form Ge2S3 and GeS, chlorine to form GeCl2 and GeCl4, hydrogen to form GeH4 and Ge2H6, nitrogen to form Ge3N4,. - it also forms organogermanium compounds such as CH3GeCl3 Germanium has an extensive chemistry but it isn't very well studied or well known.
Why is the boiling point of GeH4 higher than SiH4?
Boiling point of SiCl4 is lower than expected. Its chlorine atoms have higher negative charge due to lower electro negativity of silicon. Therefore the molecules repel each other. this results in lower b.p of SiCl4
Which of these compounds would be the best conductor in the pure liquid or molten state 1- I2 2- H2S 3- AsH3 4- SiH4 5- H2Se 6- H2Te 7- BaF2 8- GeH4 9- NH3 10-Cl2?
BaF2 would be much the best electrical conductor in the list, because it is the only one that is ionically bonded. When molten, such compounds are excellent conductors.
