Does metalloids have properties of both metals and inner transition metals?

Metalloids are unlike the inner transtion metals and all other metals. They are giant molecules whose bonding could be described as covalent. However consider silicon - perhaps the most widey used metalloid- it has a structure like diamond with tetrahedral bonds- but it is a semiconductor- this is because in molecular orbital terms the antibonding orbitals are sufficiently close to the energy of the bonding orbitals (band gap -using the nomenclature of band theory) for thermal excitation into the antibonding orbitals to take place.This is an oversimplification.

Where are metals non metals metaloids transition metals inner transition metals located on the periodic table?
Metals are located in the left hand side of the periodic table, non metals are located on the right and metalloids are located in between as a 'bridge'.
Are transition metals and inner transition metals are the group b elements?
yes they are. :)
How do you make a periodic table out of Skittles?
you can't really. But if you need to then you can take the different kinds of skittle colors and make them in the shape of the PT (periodic table) and the sort the colors into alkaline metals, alkaline metals, metalloids, nonmetals, noble gases, transition metals, and inner transition metals. I would reccomend looking at a periodic table with color first.
Is pb a inner transition metal?
i think its a main-group element. examples of inner transition metals are U
Electrons of inner transition metals fill d-sublevels and electrons of transition metals fill f-sublevels?
That is false

What are 3 element categories?
metals, metalloids, and non-metalsThese are roughly grouped from left to right on the periodic table. The metals are on the left, the non-metals are on the right, and the metalloids are inbetween. On many student periodic tables there is a dark, staircase-looking line that marks which elements are metalloids.
What are three classifications of elements?
There are at least two possible answers to this question. The two most usual ones are probably: metals, nonmetals, and metalloids; or main group, transition elements, and inner transition elements.
Are transition metals and inner transition metals are the group b elements?
yes they are. :)
Are inner transition metals radioactive?
The inner transition metals are radioactive and are found in the f-block. These are commonly referred to as actinoids and are alkali metals.

How do transuranium metals differ from inner transition metals?
Yes
What is meant by outer transition elements?
Metals from the d-block (by opposition with the inner transition metals).
What do metals nonmetals and inner transition metals have?
incomplete outer shells
