The number of chemical bonds in a geranium can vary, but there will be an astronomical number. Let's look at something and see what's up. We'll conduct a little experiment of sorts. Go to the kitchen and measure out about 4 tablespoons of table salt. (Keep things clean and you can put it back when you're done.) It's sodium chloride, NaCl, and in your approximately 4 tablespoons of salt you have about 6.02 x 1023 molecules of salt. That's 6.02 x 1023 chemical bonds in just the four tablespoons of material. Now consider the plant. How much of it is there? And there will be lots of organic material in it (it's living), and these have lots of covalent bonds in high density in the large, complex organic molecules of the plant. Warm up the calculator. How many chemical bonds in a geranium? A lot.

Germanium forms mainly covalent bonds, it is more like silicon than tin.. The most likely candidates for being ionic, the halides and the oxides are all covalent, in both oxidation numbers of 2 and 4. The salt GeSO4 is unstable.

Like the metalloids germanium it forms cluster anions, such as Ge42-
