Germanium does no "do" anything.
neither, germanium is a semiconductor
The Carbon Family
conductor
GeH4 is called germane, germanium hydride, geranium tetrahydride, or monogermane.
microchips
In semiconductor uses, such as diodes and transistors, the forward voltage drop for Silicon (Si) is a little less than 0.7 volts, while the FVD for Germanium (Ge) is about 0.3 volts.
Germanium does no "do" anything.
Germanium is not manufactured; its ore is mined then refined into germanium.
Germanium has 32 electrons.
because of germanium oxide´s (GeO2) high refractive index, about 10% of worldwide germanium consumption is from optical uses such as lenses to cameras and centres of fibre cablesanother use of germanium is as a catalyst for polymerisation of polyethylene terephthalate, the plastic in most water bottles. germanium is also used in an alloy with silicon for semiconductors that can be faster then those with only silicon.
Germanium Atomic number is 32 and the number of electrons is 32
Germanium has 32 protons.
The element germanium has 32 protons.
Yes, germanium does form isotopes. It has five stable isotopes: germanium-70, germanium-72, germanium-73, germanium-74, and germanium-76. Additionally, there are several unstable isotopes of germanium that have been produced in laboratories.
Germanium can be found in compounds such as germanium dioxide (GeO2), germanium tetrahydride (GeH4), and germanium tetrachloride (GeCl4). These compounds are important in the electronics industry and for various chemical applications.
No, germanium is very brittle.
