Non-metals are non-ductile, non-malleable, tend to form covalent bonds, etc.
metalloids
metaloids
An element that has characteristics of both metals and nonmetals is a metalloid.

Metalloids
Nonmetals are found to the right.
Elements that have some characteristics of a metal and some characteristics of a nonmetal are called semimetals or metalloids.
Metals and Nonmetals have specific characteristics. Two characteristics of Nonmetals are typically brittle and do not shape easily, and they do not conduct heat or electricity well.
AnswerThey are known as metalloids or semimetals. Some metalloids are: boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, tellurium, polonium, and astatine. (Eh-hem, sorry to edit but I asked this question! -.-)
