Is arsenic a good conductor of heat and electricity?

No, arsenic is not a good conductor of heat or electricity. It is classified as a metalloid and has poor electrical and thermal conductivity compared to metals like copper or aluminum.


What element is located in the metallic area of the periodic table but has mainly nonmetallic properties?

A good example may be mercury, which is a metal but is a liquid at room temperature, a unique feature not found in other metals.


Do arsenic and nitrogen have similar properties?

Arsenic and nitrogen are members of the same group of the periodic table of Mendeleev - group 15 (pnictides); the have have some similar chemical properties but the differences are also very important.


Is germanium similar to arsenic?

This is not a good question, because it's really unclear what "similar" means. They have roughly the same density. (Yes) Their chemical reactions are somewhat different. (No) One allotrope of arsenic is grey and metallic in appearance and could reasonably be mistaken for germanium in a cursory visual examination. (Yes) Arsenic sublimes, germanium melts. (No) And so on. In order to answer the question, you'd need to define specifically what your criteria for considering things "similar" is.


What is the meaning of metalloid?

A metalloid is an element that has properties of both metals and nonmetals. These elements have characteristics of metals, such as being good conductors of electricity, as well as nonmetallic properties, such as being brittle in solid form. Examples of metalloids include silicon and arsenic.
