Metals are hard, shiny, good conductors of heat and electricity and able to be melted and made into wire. Nonmetals have none of these characteristics and semimetals are somewhere in between. For more detail see the wikipedia articles.

What is semimetal like?
semimetals have some characteristics of metals nonmetals and have their own section on the table.
If Compared to metals and nonmetals how do atoms of semimetals behave when combining with elements 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 nonmetalss. Durr !
What is an element that has some characteristics of metals and non-metals?
Elements that have some characteristics of a metal and some characteristics of a nonmetal are called semimetals or metalloids.
An element that has characteristics of both metals and nonmetals is a what?
AnswerThey are known as metalloids or semimetals. Some metalloids are: boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, tellurium, polonium, and astatine. (Eh-hem, sorry to edit but I asked this question! -.-)
What are the four regions of the periodic table?
The regions or sections of the periodic table of elements are, the metals, the transition state elements, the nonmetals, the noble gases, and underneath those regions, the lanthanide series and the actinide series. Hydrogen is sometimes placed above all the other sections, by itself. Technically it is a metal (even though it does not look like one under normal conditions). It has a single valence electron.
What is semimetals?
semimetals have some characteristics of metals nonmetals and have their own section on the table.
Where in the periodic table are the semimetals?
Between the metals and the nonmetals in the Periodic Table lie the semimetals
Where in the periodic are the semimetals found?
Between the metals and the nonmetals in the Periodic Table lie the semimetals
What are elements classified as?
C-metals, semimetals and nonmetals. sexyyy =D
Which elements in the periodic table are nonmetals and which are metalloids?
Non metals have properties opposite those of the metals . The metalloids, or semimetals, have properties that are somewhat of a cross between metals and nonmetals.
What a semimetal like?
semimetals have some characteristics of metals nonmetals and have their own section on the table.
What is semimetal like?
semimetals have some characteristics of metals nonmetals and have their own section on the table.
What properties of semimetals?
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.

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 nonmetalss. Durr !
What are semiametals?
As we look across the periodic table from left to right, we see metals on the left, transition metals through the middle and nonmetals on the right. What we left out was that group of elements between the transition metals and the nonmetals, and these semimetals are called metalloids.Metaloids have properties that are in between those of transition metals and nonmetals, or perhaps properties that are some combination of those of transition metals and nonmetals. The elements in this group include boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony and tellurium.
What is an element that has some characteristics of metals and non-metals?
Elements that have some characteristics of a metal and some characteristics of a nonmetal are called semimetals or metalloids.
Elements that have same properties of both metals and nonmetals are called semimetals?
If that's a true/false question, then the answer is "false." Otherwise I don't know what you mean.
