These elements are called metalloids. On the Periodic Table, metalloids can be found starting at Boron going down and to the right in a zig-zag pattern. Elements that are metalloids are Boron, Silicon, Germanium, Arsenic, Antimony, Tellurium, and Polonium.

Which group of elements share characteristics of metals and nonmetals-?
The group of elements that share characteristics of metals and non metals is metalloids.
What group of elements share characteristics of with both metals and nonmetals?
they share different metals together
If Compared to metals and nonmetals how do atoms of semimetals behave when combining with elements of other elements?
They can either lose or share electrons when they combine with other elements. So, depending on the conditions , these elements can behave as either metals or nonmetalss. Durr !
What happens to the atoms most nonmetals when they react with other elements?
Something that can happen is they can gain, lose, or share four elements.
What happens to the atoms of most nonmetals when the react with other elements?
Something that can happen is they can gain, lose, or share four elements.
What type of bond does NO2 have?
covalent, because the elements are both nonmetals. If it was a metal it would be a ionic bond.
What characteristics do metalloid elements share with metal and non metal elements?
Metalloids have physical characteristics of metals and nonmetals. Non metals are brittle and without luster. Metals are malible (or bendy) and have luster.
What happens to atoms of most nonmetals when they react with other elements?
They tend to gain electrons when reacting with a metal. Metals generally are short of a full octet by 1 to 4 valence electrons. It is easier to drop 2 electrons than try to gain 6 electrons. The elements in group four can go either way, but the other metals will give up electrons, and non-metals will take them.
Which group of elements share characteristics with both metals an nonmetals?
These elements are usually called the "metaloids" or "semi-metals."
When nonmetals react with other nonmetals the atoms of nonmetals do what with electrons?
Share
Can elements be classified as metals nonmetals or metalloids?
Yes they can, all of them. Metals, nonmetals, and metalloids are three different types of elements on the periodic table. One of the differences between them is the types of bonds they share with eachother: ionic, covalent, or metallic.
What happens to the atoms of most nonmetals when they react with other element's?
Something that can happen is they can gain, lose, or share four elements.
