What other elements have similar properties to carbon?
Elements in Group 14 on the Periodic Table have similar properties to carbon. These elements are carbon (C), silicon (Si), germanium (Ge), tin (Sn), lead (Pb), and flerovium (Fl). Each of these elements has two electrons in the outermost p orbital, the electron configuration ns2np2, and they tend to adopt oxidation sates of +4 (+2 for the heavier elements due to the inert pair effect). Silicon is most similar to carbon.
Why silicon has low leakage of current as compared to germanium?
Each has four valence electrons, but germanium will at a given temperature have more free electrons and a higher conductivity. Silicon is by far the more widely used semiconductor for electronics, partly because it can be used at much higher temperatures than germanium.
What is the formula of germanium?
Germanium has two forms , each with a formula unit of Ge. One has a structure like diamond, the other is metallic, and only forms at very high pressure and has structure similar to the metallic form of tin.
What is difference between silicon and germenium?
Carbon, silicon, germanium are all teravalent atoms (4 electrons in the outer shell). Each element becomes heavier, and (because there are more total electrons) is less "pure" in it's chemical (and electrical) responses.
What does similar charges do to each other?
Similar charges will repel each other.
How do the features of germanium and silicon diodes compare to each other?
You will have to look it up in a databook to be certain.

How many covalent bonds are in the following elements germanium phosphorus selenium chlorine?
Germanium, metalloid with a similar structure to silicon- 4 covalent bonds per germanium atomPhosphorus, the most familiar form is white phosphorus which is molecular, consisting of P4 units, each P atom has 3 covalent bonds, other allotropes are not discrete molecules but all have 3 covalent bonds per P atomSelenium This is molecular in Se8 rings each Se atom has two covalent bondsChlorine this is a diatomic gas with a single covalent bond

What is the group of elements that touch the step line dividing metals and non-metals and share properties of each group?
These elements are the metalloids: arsenic, silicon, germanium, tellurium, boron, antimony.
Is prism similar to each other?
Yes, a prism is similar to each other.
What does similar charges do to each other?
Similar charges will repel each other.
Are tin germanium and aluminum in the same period?
No, each one is in a three different period from the other two!
What happens to with similar poles facing each other?
when two similar poles are facing each other, they will push away from each other, or repel.
Can similar charges attract each other?
No they can not attract each other.
