Yes, germanium can react with certain metals to form germanides. These reactions typically occur at high temperatures and under specific conditions. Germanium is capable of forming alloys with some metals, such as with copper to create germanium-copper alloys.
Germanium is not typically sold by the gallon, as it is typically measured and priced by weight, such as per gram or kilogram. The price of germanium can vary depending on the purity and form (e.g. raw ingot, powder) that you are looking to purchase. It is recommended to check with suppliers or marketplaces that deal with germanium for specific pricing information.
Germanium has 32 electrons.
Germanium has an atomic number of 32. Therefore, germanium has 32 electrons.
Germanium has 32 protons.
Yes, germanium does conduct heat. It is a semiconductor material that can conduct both heat and electricity, although not as efficiently as metals. Germanium is commonly used in electronics and thermal imaging devices due to its ability to conduct heat.

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
Germanium is a semiconductor, it means that electrons are relatively strongly attached to nuclei. As result its thermal properties change. Generally semiconductors have worse thermoconductivity than metals but better than insulators.
Four reasons. First, it is a LOT cheaper and easier to get silicon. Germanium is a trace element in rocks. You need to mine and process lots of rock to get any germanium. Silicon is also known as sand--very easy to find. Second, germanium is heat sensitive. It's harder to solder a germanium device in than a silicon one because the heat can mess up the germanium. Germanium devices pretty much have to be soldered in by hand because you have to heat sink them, whereas silicon devices can be soldered in a soldering machine. Third, germanium's hazardous and silicon is generally not. People eat off glass plates, which are made from silicon. They do NOT eat from germanium plates, if they could even afford them. And fourth, germanium has a variable voltage drop--the higher the voltage, the greater the drop. If you pump 5000 volts into a silicon diode, you're going to get 4999.3v out the other side.

Specific heat has nothing to do with specific volume.

An Important Use Of Germanium Is That It's A Semi-Conductor (Semiconductor.) A Semi-Conductor Will Only Conduct Things, Such As Heat, So Well, And Only So Many Of Times You Try.
