Answer: A cold compress used by  athletes is an endothermic reaction.

Explanation:

A pack of cold compress used by athletes contains water that holds another bag or tube inside it which is filled with ammonium nitrate fertilizer.

So, on hitting the cold compress the tube breaks down due to which fertilizer gets mixed with water. This mixture absorbs the heat when placed on the area of body having pain, strain or bump.

As a result, we tend to feel cold at the affected area of our body.

Thus, we can conclude that a cold compress used by  athletes is an endothermic reaction.

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!
