Germanium

Description:
Germanium is a chemical element with the symbol Ge and atomic number 32. It is a metalloid, exhibiting properties of both metals and nonmetals. Germanium is typically a shiny, grayish-white solid that is brittle and has a diamond-like crystalline structure. It is primarily used in semiconductor technology, particularly in transistors and diodes, due to its ability to conduct electricity under certain conditions. Germanium has a relatively high melting point and is stable in air at room temperature, although it can oxidize when heated. It is also known for its optical properties, making it useful in infrared optics and fiber optics. Germanium is not found in its elemental form in nature but is extracted from ores such as germanite and argyrodite. While it is considered to have low toxicity, exposure to germanium compounds should be managed carefully, as some can be harmful. Overall, germanium plays a crucial role in modern electronics and materials science.
