Germanium nuclear properties

In brief, then, silicon is an electropositive element with some of the properties of the metals. It commonly exhibits a covalency of four, but is capable of a maximum covalency of six in combination with atoms of relatively small volume and high nuclear charge. Chemically it resembles boron and germanium as closely as carbon and shows an exceptionally strong preference for combination with oxygen. [Pg.4]

Boron—along with silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, and tellurium—is one of a few elements, called metalloids, with properties intermediate between those of metals and nonmetals. Although they have a luster like metals, metalloids do not form positively charged ions (cations). The melting temperature of boron is very high, 2190°C. Boron is added to copper, aluminum, and steel to improve their properties. It is used in control rods of nuclear reactors because of the good neutron-... [Pg.101]
