They create salt when put together
It is mostly used in applications that need measuring substances that would have a<span> relatively neutral pH . </span>A<span> common use is for measuring the presence of carbonic </span>acid<span> in </span>a<span> liquid. so yes its acidic</span>
Iodine electron configuration is:
1S^2 2S^2 2P^6 3S^2 3P^6 4S^2 3d^10 4P^6 5S^2 4d^10 5P^5
when Krypton is the noble gas in the row above iodine in the periodic table,
we can change 1S^2 2S^2 2P^6 3S^2 3P^6 4S^2 3d^10 4P^6 by the symbol
[Kr] of Krypton.
So we can write the electron configuration of Iodine:
[Kr] 5S^2 4d^10 5P^5
It posed a contradiction to Quantum Theory
The atoms combine to form compounds to attain stability in nature. The combination of atoms takes place by sharing of electrons between the atoms or complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another. Generally, atoms combine to complete their octet, that is to possess eight electrons in their outer most shell (noble gas configurations) except hydrogen which can attain stability by two electrons in its outer most shell.
Since germanium has 4 electrons in its outer most shell so it needs 4 more electrons to complete its octet and attains the stability. Hydrogen has 1 electron in its outer most shell and it needs only 1 electron to attain stability so, each germanium will combine with 4 hydrogen atoms and thus forming
molecule which is stable in nature.
Hence,
is the formula of the hydride formed by germanium.
