Are boron and silicon metals?

They are both considered to be Metalloids meaning they have some metal characteristics and some non-metal characteristics.


Is arsenic a metal nonmetal or metalloid?

Arsenic is a metalloid, which means it has properties of both metals and nonmetals. It has some characteristics of metals, like being shiny and brittle, but also has nonmetal properties, like being a poor conductor of electricity.


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.


Classes of elements?

Elements are classified into metals, metalloids, and nonmetals based on their physical and chemical properties. Metals are typically shiny, conduct heat and electricity well, and are malleable. Metalloids have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals. Nonmetals are usually dull in appearance and poor conductors of heat and electricity.


What is a type of element that has some of the properties of metals and non metals?

Metalloids are elements that have properties of both metals and nonmetals. They typically have characteristics of both categories, such as being semi-conductive and having varying reactivity. Examples of metalloids include silicon and arsenic.

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.

Arsenic is a metalloid, which means it has properties of both metals and nonmetals. It has some characteristics of metals, like being shiny and brittle, but also has nonmetal properties, like being a poor conductor of electricity.


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.


Is germanuim a metal metalloid or a nonmetal?

Germanium is a metalloid. It has some properties of both metals and non metals. It belongs to group 14.


Which element behaves chemically as both metal and non- metal?

Boron is an element that exhibits properties of both metals and non-metals. It can form covalent compounds like non-metals but also has some metallic properties, such as being a good conductor of electricity under certain conditions.


Why are elements grouped as metalloids?

some metals in the periodic table like antimony show the characters of both metals and non metals in their chemical reactions so that they cannot actually be labelled as a METAL or NON METAL.hence they are grouped as metalloids


What makes metalloids special?

They have the properties of both metals and non-metals...hope this helps :)


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.
