They are actually called metalloid's.
They are called such because their properties are between metals and nonmetal's in terms of physical properties and conductivity etc.
A more technical definition is to look at the valence band energies.

Because metalloids has also some properties typical to metals.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoBecause they form bonds which are easily broken by heat only one or 2 max. This provides electrons for passage of current by conduction I'd obstructed with resistance more than a conductor.

∙ 9y agoThe elements such as gallium,germanium,silicon are classified as metalloids. They have properties of both metals and non metals. They are in the p block.

What are the similarities between electronic structure of sodium and fluorine?
There is no particular similarity between the electronic structure of the elements sodium and fluorine. Their electronic structures are similar only to the extent that all elements have certain features in common. The electrons form shells around the nucleus. This is true of sodium and fluorine as well as all other elements.
Why is there 12 Olympian Greek gods?
Well nobody really knows. It was just a matter of how many children the Titans had. The Titans just so happened to have 12 kids with power of certain elements containing objects, actions, and the basic, water, air, and then underground elements!

Well for starters, they're elements. Thanks for stating the answer in your question.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of equations?
Well chemical equations can help us understand how a certain substance is made and what combines with what to make it using symbol and word equations but if you dont know your elements it can be a problem
What are metalloid's?
The metalloids can be defined as those elements which exhibit characteristics of both metals and nonmetals. They are all solids, but not lustrous, and conduct heat and electricity moderately well.The six metalloids treated here are listed below, with the atomic number and chemical symbol of each.05. boron (B)14. Silicon (Si)32. Germanium (Ge)33. Arsenic (As)51. Antimony (Sb)52. Tellurium (Te)84. Polonium (Po)
