Silicon (Si) is one of seven elements that are known as the metalloids. This is just a fancy term to describe certain elements that don't behave exactly like metals or exactly like non-metals. The generally accepted list of metalloids is silicon, germanium, boron, arsenic, antimony, tellurium and polonium. Silicon can have properties like a metal or a non-metal depending on what other elements it combines with. Glass is a very common silicon compound that has non-metal qualities, while the silicon used in electronics can be made to act very much like a metal.
