better than metals but not as good as nonmetals
NOOO
The connection between a metalloid and a semiconductor is that metalloids are used in electronics as semiconductors. A semiconductor doesn't conduct electricity as well as a metal, but does conduct electricity better than a nonmetal.
ductivity and electric and thermal conductivity.

Electrisity
The ability to conduct electricity is a property of a conductor.
The most important property of metalloids is that they are god and bad conducters of heat and electicity and have good and bad amount of metalic shine. the conducter one is more important though
The ability to conduct heat or electricity is acutally called conductivity.
You can conduct electricity through liquid mercury.
indium can conduct electricity. all metals can.
pure water does not conduct electricity. the presence of electrolytes in the water is what conducts electricity. the equation for the conductivity (ability to conduct electricity) Conductance = 1/ resistance
It depends on what you are using them for. Metals are very ductile, and conduct electricity, nonmetals do a whole lot of things, metalloids can do a mixture
