- They generally look metallic but are brittle (not malleable or ductile). Neither good conductors or insulators but they are semiconductors.

What has properties of metals and non metals?
The metalloids have properties of both metals and nonmetals.
What is an element that shares the properties of metals and nonmetals?
An element that has properties of both metals and non-metals is called Metalloid. Example is Germanium.
What is an element whose physical properties are generally opposite to metals?
These chemical elements are nonmetals.
Which elements in the periodic table are nonmetals and which are metalloids?
Non metals have properties opposite those of the metals . The metalloids, or semimetals, have properties that are somewhat of a cross between metals and nonmetals.
Do metalloids have characteristics of both metals and nonmetals?
Yes, metalloids used in electronics are called semiconductors.
What is the meaning of metalloid?
A metalloid has some properties of both metals and nonmetals, and some, like silicon and germanium are semiconductors.
Are metalloids precious metals?
No. They are elements (e.g., arsenic, antimony, or tin) whose properties are intermediate between those of metals and solid nonmetals or semiconductors.
How are metalloids differents from metals and nonmetals?
because metalloids usually have properties that are similar to metals and nonmetals
What has properties of metals and non metals?
The metalloids have properties of both metals and nonmetals.
What are elements that show moderate electrical conductivity?
Semiconductors are elements that show moderate electrical conductivity. Metalloids are elements that show properties of both metals and nonmetals.
Do metals have properties of metallic and non metallic?
No, metalloids have properties of metals and nonmetals.

Which elements in the periodic table are nonmetals and which are metalloids?
Non metals have properties opposite those of the metals . The metalloids, or semimetals, have properties that are somewhat of a cross between metals and nonmetals.
What are the properties of metalloids?
i think they have properties of both metals and nonmetals .
What are three major categories of elements?
The three major categories of elements on the periodic table are metals, nonmetals, and metalloids. Metals are typically shiny, malleable, and good conductors of heat and electricity. Nonmetals are generally poor conductors of heat and electricity, and can be solid, liquid, or gas at room temperature. Metalloids have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals.
Do metalloids have characteristics of both metals and nonmetals?
Yes, metalloids used in electronics are called semiconductors.
