metaloid and metal
Silicon is in group 4 it has 4 electrons in outer most electron shell its called metaloid it can either lose or gain there is a zigzag under it on the modern periodic table which divides both the metals and nonmetals
A metaloid will generally have a very high melting point.
No it is not.
no, a metal

There are several metaloids and each has a different number of electrons than the others metaloid elements have.
