The element that has three more electrons than a neutral germanium atom is bromine. You can determine this by the atomic number. The atomic number of an element is the number of protons in the nuclei of its atoms. In a neutral atom, this is also the number of electrons. So, the atomic number of germanium is 32, so its neutral atoms contain 32 protons and 32 electrons. Move to the right three more elements, and you get bromine with an atomic number of 35, so its neutral atoms contain 35 protons and electrons.

Is germanium a compound element?

No such thing as a 'Compound element'. It is either a 'Compound' or an 'Element. Germanium is an element that appears in the Periodic Table as 'Ge'. NB A compound is a COMBINATION of two or more different elements.


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 is an element that needs three electrons to become stable?

An element that needs three electrons to become stable is nitrogen. Nitrogen has five valence electrons and can gain three more electrons to achieve a full outer shell of eight electrons, making it stable.


How do you write a Lewis Dot structure of germanium?

To write the Lewis Dot structure of germanium (Ge), first determine the total number of valence electrons (for Ge, it is 4). Place the electrons around the germanium atom, distributing them evenly to satisfy the octet rule. Since germanium can accommodate more than eight electrons, you may need to use expanded octets for larger molecules involving germanium.


How can you tell from an element's number of valence elns whether the element is more likely to form a caor an anion?

If an element has less than four valence electrons, it will tend to lose its valence electrons and form cations. If an element has more than four valence electrons, it will tend to gain electrons and form anions. An element that has four valence electrons will tend to form covalent bonds rather than ionic bonds.

Does germanium form ions?

Germanium can form ions, although it is more common for germanium to share electrons in covalent bonds rather than donate or receive electrons to form ions. In certain chemical reactions, germanium can lose or gain electrons to form Ge2+ or Ge4+ ions, but this is less common compared to other elements.

What is the energy level for germanium?

The energy level for germanium depends on its electronic configuration, which includes both valence and core electrons. Germanium typically has four valence electrons that determine its chemical properties, while its core electrons are found in inner shells closer to the nucleus. These core electrons are held more tightly and have lower energy levels compared to the valence electrons.


What does electro negativity of an element indicate?

How much an element is attracted to receiving valance electrons. The more electronegative, the more it needs electrons.


What atom is smaller tin or germanium?

Germanium atoms are smaller than tin atoms because germanium has a higher atomic number and more protons in the nucleus. The increased positive charge from more protons attracts the negatively charged electrons more strongly, leading to a smaller atomic size.
