Semi-metals have some properties of metals and some from nonmetals. Semi-metals are solid at room temperature. They are also brittle, hard, and somewhat reactive.
Strontium
Sulfides such as pyrite (feS2) are compounds of sulfur and one ore more elements.
Slate is a hard and brittle rock.
Their properties are similar with non-metals and metals. That's why they're called semi-metals. They are reactive depending on the element they are reacting with, and they are semi-conductors.

brittle
hard and brittle so YES
hard and brittle so YES
Ionic solids are brittle and hard as they are bonded with electrostatic bonds.
brittle meaning EASILY BREAKABLE so i don't think it is brittle...
Strontium
hard
They are reactive, but selective with elements that they will bond with. Most bond with oxygen and oxygen bonds with itself. Elements in the same families tend to bond with other elements similarly, but there are no hard and fast rules.
They get hard and brittle when they dry out.
Hardness is the question of how difficult it is to make an impression on a substance. Brittleness is the question of how easy it is to break. Granite is a stone which is very hard but not brittle--it is hard to carve and also hard to break. A plank of wood is not as hard as stone but is not very brittle. You can carve on it with a knife but it won't shatter if you drop it. Glass is hard and brittle. Chalk is not hard but it is brittle.
