Mercury? its a liquid metal It has metal properties and liquid properties right? someone let me know.
What else can I help you with?
What is an element that shares the properties of metals and nonmetals?
An element that has properties of both metals and non-metals is called Metalloid. Example is Germanium.
Is nitrogen a mettaloid?
No, nitrogen is a non-metal and not a metalloid. A metalloid is a element which shows properties of both metals and non-metals.
Can an element be both metal and non-metal?
no, but there are metalloids, which have properties of both metals and non metals
Which element behaves chemically as both metal and non- metal?
Boron is an element that exhibits properties of both metals and non-metals. It can form covalent compounds like non-metals but also has some metallic properties, such as being a good conductor of electricity under certain conditions.
Why is carbon a nonmetal if it conducts electricity?
Carbon is a semi-metallic element and because of this it shares properties of metals and non-metals.
Is silicon a metal or a nonmetal?
It is a metalloid, it has both metallic and non-metallic properties.
What do scientists classify silicon as?
Scientists classify silicon as a metalloid, which is an element that exhibits properties of both metals and non-metals.
What this element has five valence electrons shows properties of metals and non metals and has 33 protons in the nucleus of each atom?
Arsenic
What are mettaloids?
Metalloids are the border lines between the metals and the nonmetals in the Periodic Table.
Are most of the element metals or non metals?
Non metals
What is a matalliod?
A metalloid is an element that has properties of both metals and non-metals. Metalloids are found in a diagonal line on the periodic table separating metals from non-metals. Examples of metalloids include silicon, arsenic, and germanium.
Why are metalloids difficult to classify?
Metalloids have properties that are in between those of metals and non-metals, making their classification difficult. They exhibit both metallic and non-metallic properties such as conductivity and brittleness, which can vary depending on the specific element and conditions. This dual nature makes it challenging to categorize them definitively as either metals or non-metals.
