Metalloids share characteristics of both metals and non-metals and are also called semimetals. Metalloids are typically semi-conductors, which means that they both insulate and conduct electricity. This semi-conducting property makes Metalloids very useful as a computer chip material. Examples of metalloid elements are Silicon and Boron.
Metals are generally shiny, malleable, and hard. Metals are also good conductors of electricity. Examples of metals are Gold, Silver, Iron, Uranium, and Zinc. Non-metals do not conduct heat or electricity very well. Non-metals are typically brittle and are not easily molded into shapes. Example non-metal elements are Hydrogen and Carbon
it has the properties of both metals and nonmetals for instance it might be brittle but at the same time shiny
No. They're different. In the Periodic Table, metalloids lie between metals and non-metals. They have some of the properties of metals and some of the properties of non-metals.
heat and electricity can travel through a metalloid just like a metal
true: metalloids are elements that have characteristics of both metals and nonmetals.
Metalloids are: silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, tellurium, boron.
Arsenic is a metalloid. It belongs to group 15 and has properties of both metals and non metals.
Neither it is a metalloid or semi-metal. It has both metallic and nonmetallic properties.
metalloid
A metalloid has some properties of both metals and nonmetals, and some, like silicon and germanium are semiconductors.
silicon is classifiedas a metalloid because it posses both properties of metal and non metal
Arsenic is a metalloid. It belongs to group 15 and has properties of both metals and non metals.
The general properties of a metalloid are a combination of the properties of both metals and non-metals. Aside from those properties, they have the unique property of being semi-conductors.
A metalloid :)
Neither it is a metalloid or semi-metal. It has both metallic and nonmetallic properties.
metalloid
A Metalloid Is An Element Which Has Intermediate Properties Between Metals & Nonmetals ;)A product made of or to do with metal.A metalloid can have properties of both metals and nonmetals. Some examples of metalloids are Boron, Silicon, Germanium and Arsenic.
Boron is a metalloid. Because it has properties of both metals and non-metals.
metalloid. It has properties of metals and nonmetals.
An element that has properties of both metals and non-metals is called Metalloid. Example is Germanium.
Polonium has properties of both metals and non metals. It is hence considered to be a metalloid.
A metalloid has some properties of both metals and nonmetals, and some, like silicon and germanium are semiconductors.
