What are mettaloids Give three examples?

Metalloids are curious elements that show a mix of properties of metals and non-metals. In general it would be fair to say that a metalloid may behave as a semiconductor and they have a tendancy to form amphoteric oxides. One of the problems classifying metalloids is that different allotropes of elements may display different properties i.e: some may lean twords more metallic characteristics and some may lean twords non-metal characteristics such as some allotropes of carbon(graphite vs diamond). The elements generally regarded as metalloids form a sort of "stairs" on the Periodic Table, these are: Boron, Silicon, Germanium, Arsenic, Antimony, Tellurium and Polonium.
