silicon is a mettaloid because it has both properties of metals and non-metals such as:
it is a lusturous element like metals
it is electronegative like non-metals
it is used as a semi -conductor

∙ 13y agosilicon is a semi-metal as it has properties of both a metal and a non-metal.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoSilicon has traits of both metals and nonmetals and so it is classed as a metalloid or semimetal.
It is essentially in between being a metal and a nonmetal.

Is silicon a metal nonmetal or semi metal?
Silicon is a semimetal.
What is the most common semimetal?
The most common semi metal known is silicon. <(*_*)>
Is silicon a metal?
No. Pure silicon is made of radioactive dancing catz dat haz danced to hard and pooped their special dancing pantz and the poopz is the silicon<3
Form of silicon?
Silicon is a chemical element with symbol Si and an atomic number of 14. It is solid at room temperature and is classified as a semi-metal.
Is silicon a metal non metal or melletoid?
Silicon is a metalloid
Is silicon a metal nonmetal or semi metal?
Silicon is a semimetal.
Is sillicon a metal?
Silicon is a metalloid, which is a mix between metal and a non-metal.
What is a semi metal other than silicon?
Apart from Silicon, the following elements are considered as semi-metal(metalloids) :-BoronGermaniumArsenicAntimonyTelluriumPoloniumHowever, not all sources consider Polonium to be metalloid whereas some allotropes of elements like phosphorous, selenium etc. also show metalloidic behavior.
Both computer parts and sand have this semi metal?
Silicon.
What both computer parts and sand have thus semi-metal?
silicon
Is silcon a metal?
No, Silicon is a metalliod or semi-metal. This means it has both metallic and nonmetallic properties.
What is the most common semimetal?
The most common semi metal known is silicon. <(*_*)>
Is silicon a metal?
No. Pure silicon is made of radioactive dancing catz dat haz danced to hard and pooped their special dancing pantz and the poopz is the silicon<3
What metal is a semi conductor?
No metal is semiconductor. By definition metal is conductor. There are metalloids elements. Like silicon and germanium. They are semiconductors. There is no hard and fast definition of such elements.
What kind of bond do silicon and carbon make?
Because silicon is a metalloid/semi-metal and carbon is a nonmetal, the bond is covalent.
Where is a semi-metal on the periodic table?
The semi-metals, or metalloids are boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, tellurium, and polonium.
Form of silicon?
Silicon is a chemical element with symbol Si and an atomic number of 14. It is solid at room temperature and is classified as a semi-metal.
