What forms when Hydrofluoric acid reacts with solid germanium dioxide?
When hydrofluoric acid reacts with solid germanium dioxide, germanium tetrafluoride (GeF4) is formed along with water. This reaction can be represented by the following chemical equation: GeO2 + 4HF → GeF4 + 2H2O.
What compound would form between germanium and fluorine if the molecule contains only one germanium atom and only single bonds are formed?
Germanium fluorides are: GeF2 and GeF4.
What are compounds formed by germanium?
Germanium forms various compounds, including germanium dioxide (GeO2), germanium tetrachloride (GeCl4), and germanium tetrafluoride (GeF4). These compounds are commonly used in the production of semiconductor materials and optical fibers.
What kind of bond will germanium and Fluorine form?
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.
What is the Lewis structure for gef4?
The Lewis dot structure for Xe starts with the Xe atom in the center. There are six possible bond locations for Xe, on four of them there is a singly bonded H atom. On the other two are a pair of dots.
