Germanium forms a series of anions known as germides. The germide ion is a tetrahedron with a germanium atom at each corner. Each germanium atom has a lone pair of electrons and is bonded to the other three germanium atoms. The germide ion contains four germanium atoms. Each one is bonded to the other three germanium atoms and has a lone pair of electrons. The shape is a tetrahedron. The germide ion has an unknown charge, n minus. Determine the value of n, the charge of the germide ion.

Will give ! what are the advantages and disadvantages of nuclear power? check all that apply. one advantage of nuclear energy is that it does not produce carbon dioxide emissions. storage of nuclear waste is a short-term problem associated with nuclear energy. the problem with uranium mining is that a large quantity of uranium must be extracted to meet energy needs because the energy release from uranium fission is so low. safe operation of a nuclear power plant can be jeopardized by a human mistake.
