  2. Germanium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germanium

    Germanium cluster anions (Zintl ions) such as Ge 4 2−, Ge 9 4−, Ge 9 2−, [(Ge 9) 2] 6− have been prepared by the extraction from alloys containing alkali metals and germanium in liquid ammonia in the presence of ethylenediamine or a cryptand. [40] [42] The oxidation states of the element in these ions are not integers—similar to the ...

  4. Alkaline earth metal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkaline_earth_metal

    The alkaline earth metals are six chemical elements in group 2 of the periodic table. They are beryllium (Be), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), strontium (Sr), barium (Ba), and radium (Ra). [ 1 ] The elements have very similar properties: they are all shiny, silvery-white, somewhat reactive metals at standard temperature and pressure.

  5. Alkali metal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkali_metal

    The new product exhibited chemical properties of an alkali metal (such as coprecipitating with caesium salts), which led Perey to believe that it was element 87, caused by the alpha decay of actinium-227. [34] Perey then attempted to determine the proportion of beta decay to alpha decay in actinium-227. Her first test put the alpha branching at ...

  6. Carbon group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_group

    synthetic element. The carbon group is a periodic table group consisting of carbon (C), silicon (Si), germanium (Ge), tin (Sn), lead (Pb), and flerovium (Fl). It lies within the p-block. In modern IUPAC notation, it is called group 14. In the field of semiconductor physics, it is still universally called group IV.

  7. Properties of metals, metalloids and nonmetals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_metals...

    e. The chemical elements can be broadly divided into metals, metalloids, and nonmetals according to their shared physical and chemical properties. All elemental metals have a shiny appearance (at least when freshly polished); are good conductors of heat and electricity; form alloys with other metallic elements; and have at least one basic oxide.

  8. Germanium compounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germanium_compounds

    Germanium cluster anions (Zintl ions) such as Ge 4 2−, Ge 9 4−, Ge 9 2−, [(Ge 9) 2] 6− have been prepared by the extraction from alloys containing alkali metals and germanium in liquid ammonia in the presence of ethylenediamine or a cryptand.

  9. Rare-earth element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rare-earth_element

    The rare-earth elements (REE), also called the rare-earth metals or rare earths, and sometimes the lanthanides or lanthanoids (although scandium and yttrium, which do not belong to this series, are usually included as rare earths), [ 1 ] are a set of 17 nearly indistinguishable lustrous silvery-white soft heavy metals.
