No. Semi-metals are their own class of elements.
Semi-metals are also called metalloids.
Semi- metals are placed in a zigzag pattern. They are also called metalloids.
NO
Semi-metals have free electrons which can conduct elecricity.
Their hardness will be less than that of metals but more than that of non metals. Hence the name, semi metals or metalloids.
semi-metals
Yes, although they won't conduct it as well as regular metals. Semi-metals have characteristics of both metals and nonmetals.
Their properties are similar with non-metals and metals. That's why they're called semi-metals. They are reactive depending on the element they are reacting with, and they are semi-conductors.
Between the metals and nonmetal
The semi metals are called metalloids. They are present on zigzag line on periodic table.
