Here is your answer


\bold{Germanium}

REASON:

Elements which have 4 valence electrons are generally metalloids.

The metalloids show the properties of both metals and non-metals.

We know that,

no. of protons= Atomic number

So,

Atomic no.= 32

Hence,

The element is Germanium which is a metalloid with 4 valence electrons and has 32 protons in nucleus of each atom because it has atomic no. 32
