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.

can conduct electricity, but not very well
very reactive; not usually found "free" in nature

What is classification for the elements that have properties of both metals and non metals?
Metalloids Metalloids have properties of both metals and non-metals.
Which elements in the periodic table are nonmetals and which are metalloids?
Non metals have properties opposite those of the metals . The metalloids, or semimetals, have properties that are somewhat of a cross between metals and nonmetals.
Is the zig zag line on the periodic table halogens?
no, they are the semimetals/metalloids.
Does zirconium and osmium belong to metalloids or semimetals on the periodic table?
Zirconium and Osmium are actually both metals. Specifically transition metals. Also, metalloids and semimetals are technically the same thing. I hope this helped!
What class of metal elements are semi conductors?
The semiconductors are found primarily in the transition metals groups and are referred to as metalloids.

How arev boron and arsenic similar?
They are both metalloids, or semimetals.
Elements that have same properties of both metals and nonmetals are called semimetals?
If that's a true/false question, then the answer is "false." Otherwise I don't know what you mean.

What is an element that has some characteristics of metals and non-metals?
Elements that have some characteristics of a metal and some characteristics of a nonmetal are called semimetals or metalloids.
What class of metal elements are semi conductors?
The semiconductors are found primarily in the transition metals groups and are referred to as metalloids.
Where do the metalloids fit in with the properties?
where metalloids fit into the properties
What are the properties of nonmetal and metalloids?
Metals are good conductors. Such as iron and so on. Semimetals are okay conducts as they are half metal. Usually powers or weak metals. Non-Metals are not conductors as they are usually gases.
Are all solid element metal?
No the metalloids (a.k.a. semimetals) are solids as are five of the nonmetal elements.
Where semimetals are located on the periodic table?
Semi metals are placed on zigzag line. They are termed as metalloids.
