These elements are metalloids.
Metalloids
Metalloids or semimetals are elements that share characteristics with both metals and nonmetals. They are found along the staircase on the periodic table, separating the metals from the nonmetals. Metalloids have properties intermediate between those of metals and nonmetals, such as being semi-conductive.
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.
These elements are called metalloids.

Scientists arrange elements into metals, nonmetals, and metalloids based on their physical and chemical properties. Metals are typically good conductors of electricity, nonmetals are poor conductors, and metalloids have properties of both metals and nonmetals.
The three classes of group A elements are metals, nonmetals, and metalloids. Metals are typically shiny, malleable, and good conductors of electricity. Nonmetals are usually dull, brittle, and poor conductors of electricity. Metalloids have properties of both metals and nonmetals.
The bold, stair-step black line on the periodic table represents the division between metals and nonmetals. Elements to the left of the line are metals, while elements to the right are nonmetals. Elements along the line are metalloids, which have properties of both metals and nonmetals.
The elements that fall between metals and nonmetals are known as metalloids. These elements, such as silicon and germanium, exhibit properties of both metals and nonmetals. They typically have a metallic luster and are good semiconductors, making them valuable in electronic applications. Metalloids are found along the zigzag line on the periodic table, which separates metals from nonmetals.
Metalloids, like silicon and arsenic, share characteristics of both metals and nonmetals. They have properties of both groups, such as being semiconductors (like nonmetals) while also having some metallic luster and conductivity.
