Germanium has 32 protons, 41 neutrons, and 32 electrons.
Germanium protons
- Protons = atomic number
From the periodic table, find the atomic number of germanium.
The atomic number of germanium is 32. Hence, germanium has a total of 32 protons.
Germanium neutrons
- Neutrons = atomic mass – atomic number
The atomic mass of germanium is 72.64, so we’ll take the roundup value as 73. And the atomic number of germanium is 32.
Subtract the atomic number (32) from the atomic mass (73). Hence, germanium has a total of 73 – 32 = 41 neutrons.
Germanium electrons
- Electrons = atomic number
The atomic number of germanium is 32. Hence, germanium has a total of 32 electrons.
