Germanium is an element on the Periodic Table of Elements, discovered by Germany. Its symbol is Ge, atomic number is 32, its Atomic Mass is 72.92 (cf. note 1), it is a metalloid, and it is located in Group 14 and period 4. (That means that it has 2 electron shells, and 4 valence electrons in the outer shell. cf. note 2)
Added:
note 1:
According to my tables the atomic mass ranges more or less from 72.64 (Wikipedia.org) to 72.59 g/mol (by discoverer Winkler and in the general high school tables), older records are lower (72.32 or 72.3) but never found this higher value of 72.92 g/mol.
note 2:
In period '4' means that there are 4 shells fully or partially filled: electron configuration (K,L,M,N) is 2, 8, 18, 4
Germanium has 32 electrons.
Germanium Atomic number is 32 and the number of electrons is 32
Germanium has 32 protons.
Yes, germanium does form isotopes. It has five stable isotopes: germanium-70, germanium-72, germanium-73, germanium-74, and germanium-76. Additionally, there are several unstable isotopes of germanium that have been produced in laboratories.
Germanium can be found in compounds such as germanium dioxide (GeO2), germanium tetrahydride (GeH4), and germanium tetrachloride (GeCl4). These compounds are important in the electronics industry and for various chemical applications.
Germanium does no "do" anything.
Germanium is not manufactured; its ore is mined then refined into germanium.

No, germanium is very brittle.
Germanium is a semiconductor
Natural germanium has only one radioactive isotope - germanium 76. 27 artificial radioisotopes of germanium are known.
Germanium is seen almost every day it is sold at local germanium sites.
