3] 2−). Germanium occurs mostly in the oxidation state +4 although many +2 compounds are known. [42] Other oxidation states are rare: +3 is found in compounds such as Ge 2 Cl 6, and +3 and +1 are found on the surface of oxides, [43] or negative oxidation states in germanides, such as −4 in Mg 2 Ge.
To give provisional names to his predicted elements, Dmitri Mendeleev used the prefixes eka- / ˈ iː k ə-/, [note 1] dvi- or dwi-, and tri-, from the Sanskrit names of digits 1, 2, and 3, [3] depending upon whether the predicted element was one, two, or three places down from the known element of the same group in his table.
Lavoisier writes the first modern list of chemical elements – containing 33 elements including light and heat but omitting Na, K (he was unsure of whether soda and potash without carbonic acid, i.e. Na 2 O and K 2 O, are simple substances or compounds like NH 3), [91] Sr, Te; some elements were listed in the table as unextracted "radicals ...

Germanium is similar to silicon forming many compounds with tetrahedral {GeO 4} [2] units although it can also exhibit 5 [3] and 6 [2] coordination. Analogues of all the major types of silicates and aluminosilicates have been prepared. [4]
The history of such philosophical theories that relate to chemistry can probably be traced back to every single ancient civilization. The common aspect in all these theories was the attempt to identify a small number of primary classical elements that make up all the various substances in nature.
German inventions and discoveries are ideas, objects, processes or techniques invented, innovated or discovered, partially or entirely, by Germans.Often, things discovered for the first time are also called inventions and in many cases, there is no clear line between the two.
Structure of the trigonal prismatic [GeAr] 6 where Ar = 2,6-(iPr) 2 C 6 H 3. [6] Color code: blue-gray = Ge, gray = C. Akin to hydrocarbons and polysilanes, many organogermanium compounds are known with Ge-Ge bonds. An early example is hexaphenyldigermane, (C 6 H 5) 3 Ge−Ge(C 6 H 5) 3. It is prepared by Wurtz coupling of the bromide: [7]
