The differences between metals and minerals include the fact that metals are atoms that are electropositive. Metals are also harder and stronger than most minerals.
Between the metals and nonmetal
They are in between the metals and non metals
metalloids are a cross between metals and nometals, meaning it has properties of BOTH metals and nonmetals.
An alloy is a mixture of two metals
metalloids are a cross between metals and nometals, meaning it has properties of BOTH metals and nonmetals.
metalloids also called semi-metals
Metalloids do not contain either metals or nonmetals. They are elements that have properties of both metals and metalloids, and are found between the metals and nonmetals on the periodic table.
The link is that metals are made from different minerals.
metalloids
reactivity
This is called a metallic bond.
An element could be a metal.
