Metals are shiny solids are room temperature (except Mercury, which is a shiny liquid element), with characteristic high melting points and densities.
Many of the properties of metals, including large atomic radius, low ionization energy, and low electronegativity, are due to the fact that the electrons in the valence shell of a metal atoms can be removed easily.
One characteristic of metals is their ability to be deformed without breaking. Malleability is the ability of a metal to be hammered into shapes. Ductility is the ability of a metal to be drawn into wire.
Because the valence electrons can move freely, metals are good heat conductors and electrical conductors.
Metalloids have characteristics of both metals and non-metals. They are located on the staircase of the periodic table. Some examples of metalloids are boron, silicon, arsenic, etc.
no, but there are metalloids, which have properties of both metals and non metals
Metaloids are elements that have characteristics of both metals and non-metals.
True. Metalloids look like metals but are brittle and are not good conductors.
Their last two shells are incompletely filled. They are metallic in nature, i.e., they donate their valence electrons in a reaction.

metalloids
Metalloids have characteristics of both metals and non-metals. They are located on the staircase of the periodic table. Some examples of metalloids are boron, silicon, arsenic, etc.
Elements that have some characteristics of a metal and some characteristics of a nonmetal are called semimetals or metalloids.
metaloids
They are both considered to be Metalloids meaning they have some metal characteristics and some non-metal characteristics.
what are the characteristics of metals? metals? non-metals?
Non-metals.
The group of elements that share characteristics of metals and non metals is metalloids.
semimetals have some characteristics of metals nonmetals and have their own section on the table.
no, but there are metalloids, which have properties of both metals and non metals
metalaoids have both the characteristics of metals and non metals. ex:-boron,germanyum.
