no not at all the metalloids are on the opposite side of the Periodic Table
Metalloids are not the same as metals. They are a non metallic element that has some of the same properties as metals.

What else can I help you with?
Which group of elements shares the same characteristics its both metals and non metals?
Metalloids
How does the number of valence electrons in atoms of metalloids explain why metalloids are semiconductors?
Metalloids when used is electronics are called semiconductors.
What is classification for the elements that have properties of both metals and non metals?
Elements that have properties of both metals and nonmetals are classified as metalloids. Metalloids have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals, such as being able to conduct electricity but not as effectively as metals. Examples of metalloids include silicon and arsenic.
What is classification for elements that have properties of both metals and non metals?
i believe it is metalloids
How are metalloids differents from metals and nonmetals?
because metalloids usually have properties that are similar to metals and nonmetals
Are semi-metals the same as mixed metals?
They are usually called metalloids. They are in the middle of being a metal and a non-metal
What class of metal elements are semi conductors?
The semiconductors are found primarily in the transition metals groups and are referred to as metalloids.
Can an element be both metal and non-metal?
no, but there are metalloids, which have properties of both metals and non metals
Rocks rich in metals are known as?
metalloids
What are the elements called that are between metals and nonmetals?
Those elements are called metalloids. They have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals.
What are the three classes of elements?
The three classes of elements are metals, nonmetals, and metalloids. Metals are typically shiny, solid at room temperature, and good conductors of heat and electricity. Nonmetals are usually dull in appearance, brittle, and poor conductors of heat and electricity. Metalloids have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals.
Are metalloids metals non metals the same?
They are in between the metals and non metals
