Want this question answered?
the metalloids are located in the group in the bottom next to your but!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Silicon is in Group 4A or 14.
halogen NOTE added by Dr.J.): A halogen doesn't have a few valence electrons. They have 7 valence electrons.
Its group 16
there are two elements. those are tin and lead. Tin and lead are NOT metalloids. The two metalloids in group 14 (same group as Carbon) would be silicon (Si) and germanium (Ge).
The nonmetals.

Going down a group, the number of valence electrons remains the same, but these electrons get farther and farther away from the nucleus. Thus, they are not as tightly held and the ionization energy decreases. Moving from left to right along a period, the electrons are the same distance from the nucleus, but the number of protons are increasing in the nucleus, thus holding those electrons more tightly. Thus, the ionization energy increases.
Some share the same amount of valence electrons. Some could be classified in the same group such as metals, Nonmetal, Metalloids.
On the Periodic Table there is a zigzag line (staircase) running along group 13 to group 16. Metalloids are the elements along the staircase. The six elements commonly recognized as metalloids are boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony and tellurium.
Because they are neither metals nor non-metals
