 '''Germanium''' ''(jer-MAY-ni-em)'' is a brittle, silvery-white semi-metal (metalloid).<ref>http://www.rsc.org/periodic-table/element/32/germanium</ref>
 ==History==
 Germanium was first proposed to exist by Dmitri Mendeleyev in 1871.  He had recently created a Periodic Table of Elements, and identified gaps which where unknown elements.  Germanium was officially discovered in 1886 by Clemens Winkler, a German chemist.  He found it in the mineral [[argyrodite]] (Ag8GeS6).
