There are actually seven: Boron, Silicon, Germanium, Arsenic, Antimony, Tellurium, and Polonium
Carbon, Oxygen, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, (+16 more)
Metalloids (generally accepted by most chemists) are: germanium, tellurium, silicon, boron, arsenic and antimony.
atoms
Two metalloids with symbols not based on English names are antimony (Sb) and germanium (Ge). Their symbols are derived from their Latin names: stibium for antimony and germania for germanium.
No. All metalloids are solid at room temperature.
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.
True. Metalloids look like metals but are brittle and are not good conductors.

True. Metalloids look like metals but are brittle and are not good conductors.
Elements that have some characteristics of a metal and some characteristics of a nonmetal are called semimetals or metalloids.
Some metalloids can function as semiconductors.
what are metalloids used for?
One name is "metalloids".
metals, non metals, metaloids
Metalloids, which have properties of both metals and nonmetals. Some metalloids, but not all, conduct heat or electric current.
Metalloids have some properties similar to properties of non metals; metalloids have bad thermal and electrical conductivity, they are brittle, soft etc.
