What has properties of metals and non metals?

The metalloids have properties of both metals and nonmetals.


Do metals have properties of metallic and non metallic?

No, metalloids have properties of metals and nonmetals.


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.


What is classification for the elements that have properties of both metals and non metals?

Elements that have properties of both metals and nonmetals are classified as metalloids. Metalloids have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals, such as being able to conduct electricity but not as effectively as metals. Examples of metalloids include silicon and arsenic.


What are some properties of mixed metals?

There are a number of physical properties that can be present in meted metals. These metals are often very dull in appearance for example.


Does noble gas have some properties of both meals and nonmetals?

Not of metals. Only the properties of non metals


What element has properties of non metals and metals?

Mercury? its a liquid metal It has metal properties and liquid properties right? someone let me know.


How are semi metals related to metals and non metals?

They have properties of metals and non-metals, and also have properties that are around '1/2' of both. An example is silicon, which has a high melting point and is solid (metallic properties). However it is very brittle and it forms an acidic oxide (non-metal). It is a semi-conductor.


What are general properties of a metalloid?

The general properties of a metalloid are a combination of the properties of both metals and non-metals. Aside from those properties, they have the unique property of being semi-conductors.


What are the different categories are the elements put into?

Elements are categorized into metals, non-metals, and metalloids based on their properties such as conductivity, appearance, and reactivity. Metals are typically shiny, malleable, and good conductors of heat and electricity. Non-metals are often dull in appearance, brittle, and poor conductors. Metalloids share properties of both metals and non-metals.


What two properties are explainedby the pool-of-shared-electrons for metals?

The pool of shared electrons in metals explains their high electrical conductivity, as the delocalized electrons are free to move and carry electric charge throughout the material. It also explains their malleability and ductility, as the electron cloud allows atoms to slide over each other without breaking bonds easily.


How are metalloids differents from metals and nonmetals?

because metalloids usually have properties that are similar to metals and nonmetals
