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.
Metaliods
metaliods trust me
they can form either cation or anion depending on the counterpart (or the atom with which it is combining).
Yes and No, your question is to general to provide a specific answer.
Add non-metals to the mix and yup you've just summarized the entire periodic table of elements.
HOPE this helps okay hate to break it to you but the answer is Bromine
There is a zigzag line (staircase) running along group 13 to group 17. The elements on this staircase are known as metalloids. The six elements commonly recognized as metalloids are boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony and tellurium.

Metalloids have properties that are intermediate between metals and non-metals. They typically exhibit characteristics of both groups, such as semi-conductivity, variability in electrical conductivity, and the ability to form covalent bonds. Some common metalloids include silicon, germanium, and arsenic.
A semiconductor is a material that has resistance in between a conductor and an insulator. This means that it can conduct electricity under certain conditions but acts as an insulator under others. Examples include silicon and germanium.
Using a periodic table, you can find an element's name, symbol, atomic mass, and atomic number. The atomic number tells you how many protons and electrons are found in the element. By subtracting the mass number by the atomic number, you can find the number of neutrons prevalent (varying in specific isotopes).
Elements that touch the zigzag line on the periodic table are classified as metalloids. Metalloids have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals, such as semi-conducting behavior and varying degrees of metal and nonmetal characteristics. Examples of metalloids include silicon, arsenic, and boron.
