What is an element with characteristics of a metal and a non-metal?
metalliods like Se,Ge..
What is an element with characteristics of a metal and a non metal?
metalliods like Se,Ge..
Are boron and silicon metals?
They are both considered to be Metalloids meaning they have some metal characteristics and some non-metal characteristics.
What is metalloide?
An element which exhibits the external characteristics of a metal but behaves chemically both as a metal and as a non metal.
An element with characteristics of a metal and a non metal?
Metalloids (B, Si, Ge, As, Sb, Te, At)
Elements that lie on the line on the periodic table having both metal and non-metal characteristics are called what?
Metaloids
What characteristics of nitrogen make it a non metal?
Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons.It gains 3 electrons to form anio and exhibit non metal properties.
Can an element be both metal and non-metal?
no, but there are metalloids, which have properties of both metals and non metals
Is aluminum a metal or non metal?
Aluminum is normally classified as a metal, but it has some characteristics that cause it to be occasionally classified as a metalloid.
What are the characteristics non metal?
Some characteristics of non-metals are that they are poor conductors of electricity and heat, brittle, and have high electronegativities. On the Periodic Table, examples of non-metals are nitrogen, carbon, the halogens, and sulfur.
Is hydrogen consisdered to be a metal?
No, hydrogen is considered to be strictly a non-metal. Although it can be considered as a group 1 element due to some of its characteristics.
Is boron a metal?
Nope... Boron is juxtaposed to the Zig-Zag line which makes it a metalloid. Metalloid bares some characteristics of a metal as well as some non-metal.
