Hello!

Based on these facts, we should classify Germanium as a Metalloid.

Metalloids are chemical elements with a mixture of properties from metals and non-metals. Although Germanium has a metallic appearance (typical of metals), it doesn't have the conductive properties of metals, but is a semiconductor. The semiconductive properties of Germanium are used in applications like transistors and chips.

Have a nice day!

Which isolated gaseous atom has a total of five electrons occupying spherically shaped orbitals?
Andre45 [30]
Let's find the electron configuration of each atom


Atom      atomic number                electron configuration

Bo            5                                    1s2 2s2 2p
F              9                                    1s2 2s2 2p5 
Na          11                                    1s2 s2 2p6 3s
K            19                                    1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s      


The spherically shaped orbitals are the s orbitals.



You can se in the table that I wrote above that sodium has 2 electrons at 1s, 2 electrons at 2s and 1 electron at 3s orbitals, that is a total of five electrons at s (spherically shaped orbtials).



So the answer is the option A) sodium.

Write a balanced half-reaction describing the reduction of aqueous chromium(IV) cations to solid chromium.
Aliun [14]

The balanced half-reaction: Cr⁴⁺(aq)+ 4e⁻ → Cr(s).

<span> Chromium(IV) cations gain four electrons and became solid chromium with neutral charge.
</span>Reduction is lowering oxidation number because element or ions gain electrons. 

Oxidation reaction is increasing of oxidation number of element, because element or ion lost electrons in chemical reaction.

Germanium is a group 4A semiconductor. The addition of a dopant atom (group 3A element) that has fewer valence electrons than th
klasskru [66]

Answer:

Doping with galium or indium will yield a p-type semiconductor while doping with arsenic, antimony or phosphorus will yield an n-type semiconductor.

Explanation:

Doping refers to improving the conductivity of a semiconductor by addition of impurities. A trivalent impurity leads to p-type semiconductor while a pentavalent impurity leads to an n-type semiconductor.

Safrole was once used as a flavoring in root beer, until it was banned in 1960. what is the vapor pressure of a solution prepare
BartSMP [9]
Answer is: 48,25 torr.
Raoult's Law: p = x(solv) · p(solv)
p - <span>vapour pressure of a solution.
</span>x(solv) - <span>mole fraction of the solvent.
</span>p(solv) - <span>vapour pressure of the pure solvent.
</span>n(ethanol) = 950g ÷ 46,07g/mol = 20,62 mol.
x(solv) = moles of solvent ÷ total number of moles
x(solv) = 20,62 ÷ 21,77 = 0,965.
p = 0,965 ·50,0 torr = 48,25 torr.

The percent by mass of copper in CuBr2 is Use mc004-1.jpg. 28.45%. 44.30%. 63.55%. 71.55%.
Greeley [361]
First, we must find the total mass of CuBr₂:
Mass = 64 + 2 x 80
Mass = 224

Percentage mass of copper = mass of copper x 100 / total mass
Percentage mass of copper = (64 / 224) x 100
Percentage mass of copper = 28.45%
