Germanium and semiconductors Semiconductor Metal Fermi level Conduction band Conduction band Valence band α-germanium has the same structure as diamond/elemental silicon. Valence band α-germanium was the first semiconductor discovered. Band gap (0.7 V) Usually tetravalent (GeCl4, GeO2) but occasionally divalent (GeO) CHEM 114 Fundamental Chemistry GeF4 is a gas; GeCl4 is a liquid that reacts with water. GeO2 is an amphoteric oxide, but mostly acidic: GeO2 + 2 OH– → H2GeO42– GeO2 + 4 HCl → GeCl4 + 2H2O
The group 14 metals CHEM 114 Fundamental Chemistry Sn(II), Pb(II) compounds are ionic. Sn(IV), Pb(IV) compounds are more covalent. Sn and Pb have amphoteric oxides (form tin, lead salts in acid; stannate/plumbates in alkali.

Arsenic, antimony, bismuth • Elemental arsenic has three allotropes • Yellow arsenic, As4, structure like white phosphorus, but more unstable • Grey arsenic, structure like black phosphorus (2D network solid) • Black arsenic, structure like red phosphorus (1D network solid) Oxides: As2O3 and As2O5. Both are acidic, and react with water to give arsenous and arsenic acid (H3AsO3 and H3AsO4) Halides: AsF3, AsCl3, AsBr3, AsI3, AsF5. AsH3 (arsine) is pyrophoric • Elemental antimony has one stable and three unstable allotropes. • Metallic antimony is a shiny, brittle metal • Explosive antimony — well, what more can I add? • Black antimony (red phosphorus structure) slowly converts to the metal • Yellow antimony slowly converts to black antimony • Sb4 exists only in the liquid and gas state Oxides: Sb4O6 and Sb4O10. Sb4O10 is less stable. Sb(OH)3 converts back to the oxide Halides: SbF3, SbCl3, SbBr3, SbI3, SbF5, SbCl5. SbH3 (stibine) is very unstable.
