Answer 2

Germanium is neither a good conductor of electricity nor an insulator.

Explanation:

• Germanium (symbol: Ge) is a chemical element, which is neither an insulator nor a good conductor of electricity. It has the atomic number as 32.  
• Germanium is a metalloid. It is hard-brittle, lustrous and looks chemically similar to tin and silicon.
• Pure germanium looks similar to silicon and it is a semiconductor. Gemanium, similar to silicon, reacts naturally with oxygen to form complexes.
