Germanium is what type of element?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Metalloid

The governing concept is the classification of elements according to their physical and chemical properties. Germanium, symbol Ge, is placed near the metal–non-metal boundary in the periodic table and is classified as a metalloid. Metalloids show a combination of properties: they may have a metallic appearance, yet their electrical conductivity is intermediate and can vary with conditions. Germanium is therefore useful as a semiconductor material. It is not a mixture, because it is a chemical element, and it is not classified simply as a metal or non-metal. Hence option C is correct; the other choices ignore its intermediate character or its elemental identity.
