How is germanium classified?

Germanium is classified as a metalloid, a type of element that has characteristics of both metals and non-metals. It is located in Group 14 of the periodic table, along with elements like carbon and silicon. Germanium is used in semiconductor technology and infrared optics.


Is it good or bad that germanium capsules have extra proton?

It is bad that germanium capsules have an extra proton, as this would change the element from germanium (Ge) to another element. Germanium is typically stable with 32 protons, so adding an extra proton would make the element unstable and alter its chemical properties.

How was element germanium discovered?

In 1886 a German chemist named, Clemens A. Winkler discovered germanium. He discovered the first trace of germanium in the mineral argyrodite, while isolating it. (But germanium rarely makes distinct minerals.) He purified it to find the new element. Before this in 1871 a chemist named, Mendeleev predicted there would be a new element, that would have properties similar to the ones in silicon. His predictions were proved to be true.
