Are metalloids dull or shiny?
metalloids are very shiny because it has many atoms to reflect light which makes it shiny.
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 type of bonding happens to metalloids and metals and why?
• Metalloids: usually form covalent bonds with atoms of metals, nonmetals and other metalloids. They can easily take electrons from metals and lose electrons to nonmetals. • Metalloids: usually form covalent bonds with atoms of metals, nonmetals and other metalloids. They can easily take electrons from metals and lose electrons to nonmetals. They form because they want their valence shell to be full. Metals usually lose valence electrons because they want to stabilize their valence shell. Metalloids depends because they have different properties of metals and non metals.
How do atoms of metalloids behave when combined with atoms of other elements'?
they can either lose or share electrons when they combine with other elements. So depending on the conditions these elements can behave as either metals or nonmetals
What are uses for metalloids?
what are metalloids used for?
What are some names of metalloids?
The six commonly recognized metalloids are boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, and tellurium.
What are the elements called that are between metals and nonmetals?
One name is "metalloids".
Where do the metalloids fit in with the properties?
where metalloids fit into the properties
Rocks rich in metals are known as?
metalloids
How can you tell a covalent molecule?
When a covalent bond occurs between elements, there is only involved nonmetals and metalloids. Covalent molecules will only contain nonmetals and metalloids. Covalent bonds are also formed by multiple atoms sharing electrons, so the substance will have a relatively low melting point.
Why are metalloids semiconductors?
Metalloids when used is electronics are called semiconductors.
What are the different types of atoms that make up all of the naturally occurring substances?
They are different kinds of atoms, plain as that Various numbers of protons, electrons, and neutrons that make them all different and have various properties There are many types of atoms such as Metals, Nonmetals, Metalloids, Noble Gases, Radioactive, Transition Metals, and such
