The electron configurations of atoms in general are represented as shells - the K, L, M, N and O shells - and Orbitals within those shells: these are represented as the 1s orbital, the 2s and 2p orbitals, the 3s and 3p and 3d orbitals, the 4s, 4p, 4d and 4f orbitals, the 5s, 5p, 5d and 5f orbitals, the 6s, 6p and 6d followed lastly by the 7s and 7p orbitals.

A full s orbitals contain two electrons, while full p orbitals contain six electrons and full d orbitals contain ten electrons and it takes fourteen electrons to fill the f orbitals.

The Electron configuration of the Element Germanium is as follows: Ge Z=32 [ Atomic Number 32 means 32 protons in the nucleus ]; 1s = 2, 2s = 2, 2p = 6, 3s = 2, 3p = 6, 3d = 10, 4s = 2, 4p = 2.

Referring to The Periodic Table, the Atomic Weight of Ge is 72.59 - say 73. This means that [73 nucleons minus 32 protons] 41 neutrons accompany the 32 protons in the neutral stable atomic nucleus. Chemistry both rocks and rules.

How copper structure is different from germanium and silicon?

Copper is a metal and does not exhibit semiconducting properties like germanium and silicon. Germanium and silicon are semiconductors with a crystalline structure that allows for controlled conduction of electricity. This difference in atomic structure is what gives rise to their unique electrical properties.
