- A brittle grey crystalline element that is a semiconducting metalloid (resembling silicon) used in transistors; occurs in germanite and argyrodite
- Germanium is a chemical element with the symbol Ge and atomic number 32. It is a lustrous, hard, grayish-white metalloid in the carbon group, chemically similar to its group neighbors tin and silicon. Germanium has five naturally occurring isotopes ranging in atomic mass number from 70 to 76. ...
- A nonmetallic chemical element (symbol Ge) with an atomic number of 32
- A chemical element that acts as a semiconductor, meaning sometimes it conducts electricity and sometimes it doesn't. The first transistors were all made out of germanium.
- Considered an ultratrace element in human nutrition. The ultratrace elements currently recognized by the US Department of Agriculture include boron, chromium, germanium, lithium, molybdenum, selenium, silicon, tin, and vanadium.
- Atomic symbol, Ge, germanium is the 32nd element in the periodic table (atomic number 32) with an atomic weight of 77.60, germanium is a semiconductor with a energy gap of 0.66eV at 300^oK. ...
