A gaseous element is a poor conductor of heat and electricity and is extremely nonreactive Is the element likely to be a metal nonmetal or metalloid?

No it would be a group 18 element (helium, neon, argon, xenom, krypton or radon). These are unreactive, gaseous non-metals, which don't conduct heat or electricity at all well.

Is silicon dull?
Silicon is a relatively nonreactive metalloid.
Is sulfur a conductor of heat and electricity?
Yes,it should be,although it is not a good one,because it is a metalloid.
In group 3A of periodic table all elements are metals while Boron is metalloid why is it placed in this group?
Although boron is a metalloid and the other elements in group 3A of the Periodic Table are metals, it is placed with group 3A because it has three valence electrons at its highest-energy orbitals. It is also a good conductor of electricity.
Is aliminum a metalloid?
yes,aluminum is metal.Because metals are electropositive in nature,and also good conductor of heat.Thus in aluminum having similar property as that of metal.
Why aren't electrical connections made of silicon?
Silicon is a terrible conductor of elecricity therefore it can't connect electrical signals since it can't transfer it. It is a metalloid so it is reasonable why they would use a metal for electrical connections rather than a metalloid.
Is usually a gas or brittle solid that is a poor conductor of electricity?
metalloid
If testing show an element is a poor conductor of electricity it is probably a?
This element is a metalloid.
Is germanium a good conductor of electricity?
Germanium is a good conductor because it is between silicon and tin, its a metalloid. Tin can conduct electricity and so can germanium
Is silicon dull?

Is sulfur conductor of heat and electricity?
Yes,it should be,although it is not a good one,because it is a metalloid.
Can a conductor also be an Insulator?
Theoretically no, because that's like saying "can hot be cold" but certain metalloid are capable of conducting and insulating electricity.
What are subconductors?
A sub-conductor in Chemistry is a metalloid. Since it's not a nonmetal they can conduct some electricity and heat but not as well and fully like a complete metal.
Is a metalloid a good conductor?
NO, a metalloid is not a good conduct of heat. -UND34D ASSASSIN
How is a metaloid like a metal?
metal and a metalloid is both a conductor.
What is a metalloid called if it conducts electricity better than non-metals but not as well as metals?
Probably Water, it conducts but doesnt send the current around a single direction, instead scatters it out.
How a metalloid differs from a nonmetal?
A metalloid has metallic traits as well as nonmetallic, such as a moderate ability to conduct electricity.
