Semimetals (often called "metalloids") span the gap between metals and non-metals in the Periodic Table. The semimetals are boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, and tellurium. Polonium is also often considered a semimetal.

What else can I help you with?
What was Dimitri Mendeleïevs contribution to chemistry?
The organization of the elements (metals, non-metals, and semi-metals) which is known as the Periodic Table Of Elements.
Elements that are semi conductors and lie between the metals and non metals are?
metalloids
What is classification for elements that have properties of both metals and non metals?
i believe it is metalloids
Which classes of elements lies between the metals and the non metals?
metalloids also called semi-metals
What is the most common semi metal?
Semi-metals or metalloids. The elements boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, tellurium, and astatine have properties similar to both metals and non-metals. These elements are located along the semi-metal line of the periodic table.
Do semi-metals count as a metal?
Semi-metals, also known as metalloids, exhibit properties of both metals and nonmetals. While they have some metallic characteristics, they are not considered true metals. Instead, semi-metals are a distinct category in the periodic table.
What is a nonmetallic minerals resource?
If you examine the Periodic Table of the elements, you can see that there are sections for metals, semi-metals, and non-metals. The elements on the right side of the table are the nonmetallic elements. Possible examples include mineral resources that contain silicon, phosphorus, or sulfur.
What are the many different ways elements on the periodic table are classified?
1.metals, semi-metals, non metals 2.Solid, liquid, gas 3.Conductors Semi-conductors Insulators
Why are some elements are semi-metals?
Because their sizes and electronic configuration make them to resemble with metals a well as nonmetals.
Elements can be classified as metals semi metals non metals?
Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity, while nonmetals are poor conductors. Metalloids have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals.
Is helium a semi-metal?
No, helium is not a semi-metal. It is a noble gas that exists as a monatomic gas at room temperature and does not exhibit the properties of semi-metals, which are elements that have characteristics of both metals and nonmetals.
What are the metaloids?
Metalloids are elements that have properties of both metals and nonmetals. They are located in between metals and nonmetals on the periodic table and include elements like silicon, arsenic, and germanium. Metalloids typically have a combination of metallic and nonmetallic properties, such as being semi-conductive in nature.
