germanium dioxide formula

What is germanium dioxide formula?


The chemical formula for Germanium Dioxide is GeO2. This compound is also known as Germanium(IV) oxide and is one of the most common and commercially significant compounds of Germanium. It exists in two crystalline forms: the tetragonal, which resembles the rutile structure, and the hexagonal form, which is similar to quartz. Germanium dioxide is used in optical applications and as a precursor material in the production of other germanium compounds.
