Germanium-72 has 32 protons and 40 neutrons. In nuclear physics nomenclature, the number represents the total number of protons and neutrons. Since all germanium isotopes have 32 protons, the remaining value after subtracting 32 is the number of neutrons (ex. 72-32 = 40).

Neon has more protons than silicon. Neon has 10 protons, while silicon has 14 protons.
A germanium atom consists of a nucleus made up of protons and neutrons, surrounded by electron shells. It has 32 protons and typically 32 neutrons in its nucleus, which gives it an atomic number of 32. The electrons are arranged in energy levels around the nucleus, following the electron configuration rules.

Germanium has 32 protons.
Germanium has 32 protons.
Germanium has 32 protons, 41 neutrons, and 32 electrons.
All germanium atoms have 32 electrons.
Germanium always contains 32 protons, whether it is neutral or not.
32
Germanium has 32 protons (as it has atomic number 32) and 44 neutrons. This is determined by subtracting the atomic number from the atomic mass.
If you remove two protons from a germanium atom, it would become a selenium atom. This is because germanium has 32 protons, while selenium has 34 protons.
If you remove two protons from a germanium atom, it becomes a manganese atom.
Germanium has 32 electrons and protons; the number of neutrons is specific for each isotope. Number of neutrons in a germanium isotope = Mass number - 32
The charge of germanium is neutral, as it has an equal number of protons (positive charge) and electrons (negative charge). Germanium has 32 protons and 32 electrons, resulting in a net charge of 0.
A germanium atom with 2 less protons would be an atom of silicon. Silicon has an atomic number of 14, while germanium has an atomic number of 32. By removing 2 protons from germanium, you end up with an atom with an atomic number of 30, which corresponds to silicon.
