Answer 1

Germanium is the element that has 32 protons in its nucleus.

Answer 2

The element that has 32 protons in its nucleus is GERMANIUM.

The elements in the periodic table are arranged in the order of increasing atomic number. The atomic number of an element is actually the number of protons in that element. For the question given above, the atomic number of germanium is 32, this implies that it has 32 protons in its nucleus. For a neutral atom, the number of proton and electron in the atom is the same. Thus, germanium also has 32 electrons.
