What are semi-conductive metalloids?

Metalloids are known as semi-conductors meaning they can conduct electricity, but they are not good conductors. Metals are good conductors. Non-metals are bad conductors.


Does magnesium conduct heat and electricity?

Yes. Magnesium is a metal and all metals are great conductors of heat and electricity. Nonmetals are not good conductors and metalloids are in between.


Are metalloids Conductor of heat or electricity?

They are only fair to high (intermediate) conductors of electricity and heat, except that silicon is a good heat conductor. Metalloids include boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, and tellurium.
