There are two types. The formulas are GeCl2 and GeCl4 :)
The chemical formula for germanium sulfite is Ge(SO3)2
Germanium chloride is a bond between a metal and a nonmetal. The electronegativity difference between these substances is great. Thus, this compound has an ionic bond.
You get Germanium Dioxide and Hydrochloric acid GeCl4 + H2O = GeO2 + 4HCl
Germanium is an element, and as such does not have a chemical formula per se. Rather is has a chemical symbol, which is Ge.
GeCO3
Two germanium chlorides are known: GeCl2 and GeCl4.
There are two types. The formulas are GeCl2 and GeCl4 :)
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.
Germanium is anatural chemical element (Ge). Sodium chloride (NaCl) is a compound.
The chemical formula for germanium sulfite is Ge(SO3)2
Germanium chloride is a bond between a metal and a nonmetal. The electronegativity difference between these substances is great. Thus, this compound has an ionic bond.
The unbonded electron pairs repel the chloringe atoms.
You get Germanium Dioxide and Hydrochloric acid GeCl4 + H2O = GeO2 + 4HCl
Germanium is an element, and as such does not have a chemical formula per se. Rather is has a chemical symbol, which is Ge.
GeCO3
Germanium tetrachloride is covalent, just like carbon tetrachloride or silicon tetrachloride. All nasty stuff.
GeO2 is the chemical formula of germanium dioxide.
