FTP, identify this metalloid with atomic number 32, located directly beneath Silicon.
Its existence was proven by Clemens Winkler in 1886, but Mendeleev had already predicted that this missing element existed. It is lustrous, hard and silver- white in color and is chemically similar to tin. It forms many important organometallic compounds and is often used in transistors, although unlike most semiconductors it has a small band gap, which allows it to respond to infrared light.
