Close Similarities Of Metalloids and Non-metals:
Metalloids:
Low shear strength (Brittleness)
Positive or negative oxidation numbers
Can form anions in water, mostly oxyanions
Non metals:
Low shear strength (Brittleness) when solid
Positive or negative oxidation numbers
Tend to form anions in water
Remote Similarities of metalloids and non-metals:
Metalloids:
Intermediate electronegativity
Intermediate melting and boiling points
Intermediate to good electrical conductivity
mostly Intermediate to high (Si) thermal conductivity
Some low densities (exceptional), mostly high
Can form acidic oxides
Non metals:
High electronegativity
Low melting and boiling points
Poor to Intermediate electrical conductivity
Nearly negligible to high thermal conductivity
Low densities
A tendency to form acidic oxides
