When metalloids are found in nature, they are usually in the form of compounds or minerals. They can be commonly found in ores such as bauxite, borax, or arsenopyrite. In their pure elemental form, metalloids are rare in nature.
Periodic Table:•On either side of the dividing line between Metals and Non-Metals. •Metalloids with more Metallic Behavior are found on the Metal side. •Metalloids with more Non-Metal Behavior are found on the Non-Metal side.
the metalloids
The semiconductors are found primarily in the transition metals groups and are referred to as metalloids.
The most common metalloids found in the periodic table are boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, and tellurium.
Metalloids (B, Si, As, Sb, Ge, Te) are placed to the righton the periodic table.
Two metalloids found in period 4 are silicon and germanium. These elements have properties intermediate between metals and nonmetals, making them useful in semiconductors and other electronic applications.
There are 17 nonmetals and only 6 metalloids.

The stair step line
Metalloids are found along the staircase line on the periodic table, separating metals from nonmetals. Examples of metalloids include elements such as silicon, arsenic, and germanium. They exhibit properties of both metals and nonmetals.
Metalloids are located in a diagonal line on the periodic table that separates metals and nonmetals. They are found in Group 13 to 17, starting with boron in Group 13 and ending with astatine in Group 17. Some examples of metalloids include silicon, germanium, and arsenic.
