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.
Metals generally are good conductors of electricity, and nonmetals are not.

Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity, while nonmetals are poor conductors. Metalloids have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals.
Most periodic tables differentiate between metals and nonmetals by placing the metals on the left and in the middle of the table, and the nonmetals on the right. The dividing line between metals and nonmetals is often marked by a zigzag line that separates the two categories, with elements to the left being metals and elements to the right being nonmetals.
Metals are located on the left side of the periodic table, nonmetals are on the right side, and metalloids are found along the zigzag line that separates metals and nonmetals. Metals tend to lose electrons, nonmetals tend to gain electrons, and metalloids have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals.
Those elements are called metalloids. They have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals.
Yes, metalloids have characteristics of both metals and nonmetals. They have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals, such as being semi-conductive and having a mix of metallic and nonmetallic appearances.
Metals are typically found on the left side of the periodic table, nonmetals are on the right side, and metalloids are found between metals and nonmetals in a diagonal line starting from boron to polonium.
Metalloids or semimetals are elements that share characteristics with both metals and nonmetals. They are found along the staircase on the periodic table, separating the metals from the nonmetals. Metalloids have properties intermediate between those of metals and nonmetals, such as being semi-conductive.
Insulators are typically nonmetals because they have high electrical resistance and do not conduct electricity well. Metals are good conductors of electricity, while metalloids have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals.
