Under normal conditions germanium tetraiodide (GeI 4) is a solid, germanium tetrafluoride (GeF 4) a gas and the others volatile liquids. For example, germanium tetrachloride, GeCl 4, is obtained as a colorless fuming liquid boiling at 83.1 °C by heating the metal with chlorine. [36]

Germanium has a moderate ionisation energy (762 kJ/mol), moderate electron affinity (119 kJ/mol), and moderate electronegativity (2.01). It is a poor oxidising agent (Ge + 4e → GeH 4 = –0.294 at pH 0). As a metalloid the chemistry of germanium is largely covalent in nature, noting it can form alloys with metals such as aluminium and gold.
The lightest of the Group 0 gases, the first in the periodic table, was assigned a theoretical atomic mass between 5.3 × 10 −11 u and 9.6 × 10 −7 u. The kinetic velocity of this gas was calculated by Mendeleev to be 2,500,000 meters per second.
Under normal conditions GeI 4 is a solid, GeF 4 a gas and the others volatile liquids. For example, germanium tetrachloride, GeCl 4, is obtained as a colorless fuming liquid boiling at 83.1 °C by heating the metal with chlorine. [4] All the tetrahalides are readily hydrolyzed to hydrated germanium dioxide. [4]
For phosphorus (element 15) as an example, the concise form is [Ne] 3s 2 3p 3. Here [Ne] refers to the core electrons which are the same as for the element neon (Ne), the last noble gas before phosphorus in the periodic table. The valence electrons (here 3s 2 3p 3) are written explicitly for all atoms.
Periodic table of the chemical elements showing the most or more commonly named sets of elements (in periodic tables), and a traditional dividing line between metals and nonmetals. The f-block actually fits between groups 2 and 3 ; it is usually shown at the foot of the table to save horizontal space.
Like the periodic table, the list below organizes the elements by the number of protons in their atoms; it can also be organized by other properties, such as atomic weight, density, and electronegativity.
