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.
Answer:
The amount left after 49.2 years is 3mg.
Explanation:
Given data:
Half life of tritium = 12.3 years
Total mass pf tritium = 48.0 mg
Mass remain after 49.2 years = ?
Solution:
First of all we will calculate the number of half lives.
Number of half lives = T elapsed/ half life
Number of half lives = 49.2 years /12.3 years
Number of half lives = 4
Now we will calculate the amount left after 49.2 years.
At time zero 48.0 mg
At first half life = 48.0mg/2 = 24 mg
At second half life = 24mg/2 = 12 mg
At 3rd half life = 12 mg/2 = 6 mg
At 4th half life = 6mg/2 = 3mg
The amount left after 49.2 years is 3mg.
Answer:
Explanation: Does any of this look right? To be honest I just looked it up.
Answer:
O.
Explanation:
- The element which is oxidized is the element that losses electrons and its oxidation state be more positive.
- The element which is reduced is the element that gain electrons and its oxidation state be more negative.
<em> O goes from 0 to -2, so, it is the element that is reduced.</em>
