What is a semimetal like?

Answer 1

Semi-metals are located along the line between the metals and non-metals in the Periodic Table. Semi-metals (aka) include boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, and tellurium. Polonium is often considered a semi-metal too.

Answer 2

An example of a Semi-metal would be the element Boron (B), Silicon (Si), Geranium (Ge), Arsenic (As), Antimony (Sb), Tellurium (Te) or Polonium (Po).

Elements that are Semi-metals are listed between the Metals and Nonmetals on the Periodic table.

Another name for a semi-metal is metalloid.

Answer 3

they are germanium,gallium, arsendide,selenium, silicon, cadium-sulphoide, antimonide, the oxides of copper iron, cobalt, carbon manganese and nickel. However the best known and widely used is silicom and germanium

Answer 4

Semi-metals, or metalloids, are elements that have properties of both metals and nonmetals. These are elements touching the 'staircase,' or zigzag line, that separate metals from nonmetals.

This includes:

• B - Boron (Atomic #5)
• Si - Silicon (Atomic #14)
• Ge - Germanium (Atomic #32)
• As - Arsenic (Atomic #33)
• Sb - Antimony (Atomic #51)
• Te - Tellurium (Atomic #52)
• Po - Polonium (Atomic #84)

*Al - Aluminium (Atomic #13) is not a semi-metal.

Answer 5

Semimetals are the line between the metals and nonmetals on the periodic table. they are B, Si, As, Te and At

Answer 6

Examples of a semi-metal are arsenic, antimony, bismuth, alpha-tin.

Metalloid and semimetal are not synonyms !

Answer 7

semimetals have some characteristics of metals nonmetals and have their own section on the table.
