All the germanium in the universe was made in supernovae explosions.
When germanium is combined with hydrogen a chemical compound GeH4(Germanium hydride), is formed and when combined with air it is explosive.
The addition of arsenic to germanium makes it an extrinsic semiconductor (option a). This is because arsenic acts as a dopant, introducing free charge carriers (electrons) into the germanium, which enhances its electrical conductivity compared to intrinsic germanium.
The energy band gap for germanium is around 0.67 electron volts (eV) at room temperature. This makes germanium a semiconductor with properties in between those of conductors and insulators.
A transistor is mainly composed of silicon and germanium
Silicon and Germanium are often seen in transistors.
No, germanium is not a better conductor than metals such as copper or silver. Germanium is a semiconductor that has electrical conductivity between that of a conductor and an insulator. It is commonly used in electronic devices for its semiconducting properties.
Yes, germanium does conduct heat. It is a semiconductor material that can conduct both heat and electricity, although not as efficiently as metals. Germanium is commonly used in electronics and thermal imaging devices due to its ability to conduct heat.
Germanium does no "do" anything.
Germanium is not manufactured; its ore is mined then refined into germanium.
Germanium has 32 electrons.
Germanium Atomic number is 32 and the number of electrons is 32
Germanium has 32 protons.
