Germanium

No, germanium is not a halogen. It is a metalloid element that has properties of both metals and nonmetals. Halogens are a group of elements in the periodic table that includes elements like fluorine, chlorine, and iodine.

The actual density of germanium is approximately 5.323 g/cm^3 at room temperature in a reference source.

Germanium has 32 electrons and protons; the number of neutrons is specific for each isotope.

Number of neutrons in a germanium isotope = Mass number - 32

Derived from Germania- meaning Germany. Since it was first discovered by Clemens Winkler in Germany.

The chemical formula for germanium arsenide is GeAs. It consists of one atom of germanium (Ge) and one atom of arsenic (As) bonded together in a 1:1 ratio.

the reason for 0.3V as barrier potential in Ge is:-

Electrons near the junction drift into the P region and recombine with holes. At the junction, the P-side has a layer of negative charges or negative ions (since p-type material is electrically nuetral addition of an electron makes it a negative ion). At the junction, the N-side has given up electrons thus creating holes i.e. it has positive charges or positive ions.This ion build up creates an area that is depleted of any conduction electrons or holes i.e. it has positive charges or positive ions cancelled out by negative charges or negative ions This ion build up creates an area that is depleted of any conduction electrons or holes. This represents a potential difference of 0v to 0.3v volts Ge diodes Semiconductor devices are controlled by controlling the depletion region of the device. The potential difference is called the barrier potential.

It's basically what makes the semiconductor work, so its a really good question.

32 protons, 32 electrons.

Ge-72 isotope has 40 neutrons

Dmitri Mendeleev was able to predict the properties of germanium by leaving gaps in his periodic table for elements that were yet to be discovered. He noticed a pattern in the properties of known elements and used this pattern to predict the existence and properties of undiscovered elements, such as germanium.

A germanium diode has a lower forward voltage drop compared to a silicon diode, typically around 0.3V for germanium and 0.7V for silicon. Germanium diodes also have a higher reverse current leakage compared to silicon diodes.

germanium has great intrinsic concentration at room temperature,hence conduction is great in germanum compared to silicon, and resistance decreases in germanum and hence built in potentail also less in germanum compared to silicon.built in potential of silicon is 0.7v

built in potential of germanum is 0.3v.

1)intrinsic concentration of germanium at room temperature is 2.5*10^13 atoms/cm^3.

2)intrinsic concentration of silicon at room temperature of 300k is 1.5*10^10 atoms/cm^3.

The barrier potential of a germanium diode typically decreases with increasing temperature due to the increase in intrinsic carrier concentration. At room temperature (around 300K), the barrier potential is usually around 0.3-0.4V for a germanium diode.

At room temperature (~25°C), germanium is in the solid crystalline phase.

Mendeleev used the properties of gallium, scandium, and germanium to predict their existence before they were discovered. Their discovery and properties helped confirm the accuracy of Mendeleev's periodic table and his periodic law. This further solidified Mendeleev's contributions to the development of the modern periodic table.

Germanium diodes typically have a lower forward voltage drop than silicon diodes, which can result in slightly higher temperatures under the same operating conditions. However, the difference in temperature between the two types of diodes is generally minimal and may vary depending on the specific application.

Silicon has a higher operating temperature and better thermal stability compared to germanium, making it more reliable for electronic devices. Additionally, silicon's oxide layer forms a better insulating material for integrated circuits, enhancing its performance. Silicon also has a wider bandgap than germanium, allowing for better control of electrical conduction.

Germanium is relatively expensive because it is a rare element and is not as abundant as other elements like silicon. The extraction process of germanium is also complex, requiring multiple steps to purify it to a high level. Additionally, the demand for germanium in various industries, such as electronics and fiber optics, contributes to its higher cost.

The Greek word for germanium is γερμάνιο (germanio).

Carbon has a smaller atomic radius than germanium because carbon has fewer electron shells and protons, leading to a smaller atomic size compared to germanium. Additionally, carbon atoms have a stronger nuclear charge relative to the number of electron shells, contributing to its smaller size.

The chemical symbol for germanium phosphate is GePO4.

Neither, it is a crystalline solid in pure form.

Germanium is relatively unreactive towards acids at room temperature. It does not readily react with common acids such as hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid. However, it can slowly react with concentrated nitric acid to form germanium oxide and germanium nitrate.

Germanium sulfide is known as an indirect bandgap material, as the minimum energy required for an electron transition between the valence and conduction bands occurs at different momentum points in the Brillouin zone.

No, it was made in supernova explosions before the formation of our solar system.

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.
