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! -.-)
An element that has properties of both metals and non-metals is called Metalloid. Example is Germanium.
