Answer:
An aquifer is a layer of porous substrate that contains and transmits groundwater. ... The upper level of this saturated layer of an unconfined aquifer is called the water table or phreatic surface. Below the water table, where in general all pore spaces are saturated with water, is the phreatic zone.
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!
