Metaloids
An element that has characteristics of both metals and nonmetals is a metalloid.
Metalloids do not contain either metals or nonmetals. They are elements that have properties of both metals and metalloids, and are found between the metals and nonmetals on the periodic table.
An element that has properties of both metals and non-metals is called Metalloid. Example is Germanium.
A metalloid is an element that has some characteristics of both metals and nonmetals. Metalloids are found in a diagonal line between metals and nonmetals on the periodic table, such as silicon and arsenic.

No; sulfur and phosphorus are nonmetals.

These chemical elements are nonmetals.
Yes, color can be used to distinguish metals from nonmetals. Generally, metals have a characteristic metallic luster or shine, while nonmetals can appear dull or have a wide range of colors depending on the element. Conductivity and malleability are other properties that can help distinguish between metals and nonmetals.
Metals form compounds very easily with non-metals.
