A metalloid is a chemical element that exhibits the properties of both metals and nonmetals. Since they are specific enough to be either of these classifications, they are called metalloids. Some examples include boron, silicon, and germanium.

A metalloid is a chemical element that has properties in between those of metals and nonmetals. There is no standard definition of a metalloid, nor is there complete agreement as to which elements are appropriately classified as such.
