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.

Astudent made a graph plotting the progress of a reaction over time. the student forgot to label the y-axis of the graph. a graph is shown with two graph lines. one graph line starts at a higher position on the y axis and slopes downwards towards the right. the other graph line starts at a lower position on the y axis and slopes upwards towards the right. the two graph lines stop short of intersecting each other and continue as separate lines which gradually become straight and parallel to the x axis. a vertical line is shown at a point where the two graph lines finally became parallel to the x axis. this vertical line is labeled equilibrium. the title on the x axis is time and an arrow pointing towards the right is shown above time. the title on the y axis is left blank. what best explains the label that the student should use on the y-axis? amount, because as the amount of product decreases, the amount of reactant increases over time. reaction rate, because forward and backward reaction become equal at equilibrium. amount, because the amounts of reactants and products become constant after equilibrium is reached. reaction rate, as the rate of forward reaction increases and rate of backward reaction decreases over time.
