Answer: The condensed electron configuration, aka noble gas configuration is [Ar] 4s^2 3d^10 4p^2.
Step-by-step explanation:
The full configuration for Ge based on its location on the periodic table would be 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 4s^2 3d^10 4p^2.
This is unnecessarily long, therefore to shorten it, find the last noble gas (the last column on the right of the periodic table), which is Argon, Ar.
Therefore anything after Ar gets included in the condensed version of the electron configuration. In this case that would be 4s^2 3d^10 4p^2.
So the final answer would be [Ar] 4s^2 3d^10 4p^2.
