Germanium chloride is a bond between a metal and a nonmetal. The electronegativity difference between these substances is great. Thus, this compound has an ionic bond.
Germanium and fluorine will form an ionic bond, as germanium is a metalloid and fluorine is a non-metal. Germanium will donate electrons to fluorine to complete its outer electron shell, creating a stable ionic compound.
There are two types. The formulas are GeCl2 and GeCl4 :)
Germanium chloride is mainly used in the production of high-purity germanium metal for semiconductor applications, such as in the electronics industry. It is also used in some chemical research applications and as a precursor for other germanium compounds.
As there is no oxygen in the compound (GeCl2), it would be a reducing agent (especially in HCl).
Sodium chloride, or table salt, is formed by an ionic bond between sodium (Na+) and chloride (Cl-) ions. Ionic bonds are created through the transfer of electrons from one atom to another.
Germanium and fluorine will form an ionic bond, as germanium is a metalloid and fluorine is a non-metal. Germanium will donate electrons to fluorine to complete its outer electron shell, creating a stable ionic compound.
Sodium chloride has an ionic bond.
Ionic bond
If you are referring to germanium tetrachloride, it is a colorless liquid. If you are referring to germanium dichloride, it is a yellow solid. Germanium does not have any chloride compounds that are gaseous at STP.
Sodium chloride has an ionic bond.
Sodium chloride has ionic bonds; sodium chloride form a giant lattice.
Germanium is anatural chemical element (Ge). Sodium chloride (NaCl) is a compound.
