Germane is the chemical compound with the formula Ge H 4, and the germanium analogue of methane.It is the simplest germanium hydride and one of the most useful compounds of germanium.
This series has the chemical formula X 2 H 6.Ethane is commonly found alongside methane in natural gas.The other hydrides of the chemical formula X 2 H 6 are less stable than the corresponding tetrahydrides XH 4, and they are more and more less stable as X goes from carbon (ethane C 2 H 6 is stable) down to lead (or flerovium) in the periodic table (diplumbane Pb 2 H 6 is unknown [1]).
Germanium iodides are inorganic compound with the formula GeI x.Two such compounds exist: germanium(II) iodide, GeI 2, and germanium(IV) iodide GeI 4. [1]Germanium(II) iodide is an orange-yellow crystalline solid which decomposes on melting.
Two oxides of germanium are known: germanium dioxide (GeO 2, germania) and germanium monoxide, (GeO). [4] The dioxide, GeO 2 can be obtained by roasting germanium disulfide (GeS 2) or by allowing elemental germanium to slowly oxidze in air, [5] and is a white powder that is only slightly soluble in water but reacts with alkalis to form germanates. [4]
A notable derivative of GeCl 4 is germanium dioxide.In the manufacture of optical fibers, silicon tetrachloride, SiCl 4, and germanium tetrachloride, GeCl 4, are introduced with oxygen into a hollow glass preform, which is carefully heated to allow for oxidation of the reagents to their respective oxides and formation of a glass mixture.
When comparing a polar and nonpolar molecule with similar molar masses, the polar molecule in general has a higher boiling point, because the dipole–dipole interaction between polar molecules results in stronger intermolecular attractions. One common form of polar interaction is the hydrogen bond, which is also
Polari, a jargon that began in European ports and evolved into a shorthand used in gay subcultures, influences much of today's slang in words like "zhuzh," "drag," "camp" and "femme."
Plumbane is an unstable colorless gas and is the heaviest group IV hydride; [8] and has a tetrahedral (T d) structure with an equilibrium distance between lead and hydrogen of 1.73 Å. [9]
