What element has the same electrons as silicon?
The element with chemical properties most like silicon is germanium. As an example, both are used in semiconductors.
How many neutrons does a germanium atom have?
The most common isotope of Germanium has 40 neutrons.
What are things made of germanium?
because of germanium oxide´s (GeO2) high refractive index, about 10% of worldwide germanium consumption is from optical uses such as lenses to cameras and centres of fibre cablesanother use of germanium is as a catalyst for polymerisation of polyethylene terephthalate, the plastic in most water bottles. germanium is also used in an alloy with silicon for semiconductors that can be faster then those with only silicon.
What is germanium combined with to make compounds?
Germanium is most commonly combined with silicon, oxygen and hydrogen
Why is germanium important?
Germanium has many important uses that relate to science, medicine or even every day life. It is one of the largest used conductors used in transistors.
What element is used in making transistors and chips?
Silicon and Germanium are the elements used in transistors
Why silicon is used in scr?
For the same reason it is used in transistors and ICs: its a very good semiconductor. Note: equivalent devices have been made with germanium in the past, when most transistors were germanium. But they called them thyristors not GCRs.
What element has the same electrons as silicon?
The element with chemical properties most like silicon is germanium. As an example, both are used in semiconductors.
Where is germanium and silicon located in computer chips?
Germanium is not used in integrated circuits. Silicon is.
Why germanium semiconductor is used in hall effect experiment not silicon?
germanium low sensitivity
