Metalloids share characteristics of both metals and non-metals and are also called semimetals. Metalloids are typically semi-conductors, which means that they both insulate and conduct electricity. This semi-conducting property makes Metalloids very useful as a computer chip material. Examples of metalloid elements are Silicon and Boron.
Metals are generally shiny, malleable, and hard. Metals are also good conductors of electricity. Examples of metals are Gold, Silver, Iron, Uranium, and Zinc. Non-metals do not conduct heat or electricity very well. Non-metals are typically brittle and are not easily molded into shapes. Example non-metal elements are Hydrogen and Carbon
Arsenic is a metalloid, which means it has properties of both metals and nonmetals. It has some characteristics of metals, like being shiny and brittle, but also has nonmetal properties, like being a poor conductor of electricity.
Neither it is a metalloid or semi-metal. It has both metallic and nonmetallic properties.
Silicon is considered a metalloid. It exhibits properties of both metals and nonmetals.
Arsenic is classified as a metalloid due to its properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals.
Boron is a metalloid, which means it has properties of both metals and nonmetals.
Silicon is a metalloid. It shares properties of both metals and nonmetals.
The general properties of a metalloid are a combination of the properties of both metals and non-metals. Aside from those properties, they have the unique property of being semi-conductors.

Neither it is a metalloid or semi-metal. It has both metallic and nonmetallic properties.
Silicon is considered a metalloid. It exhibits properties of both metals and nonmetals.
Boron is a metalloid. Because it has properties of both metals and non-metals.
Arsenic is classified as a metalloid due to its properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals.
metalloid. It has properties of metals and nonmetals.
An element that has properties of both metals and non-metals is called Metalloid. Example is Germanium.
Polonium has properties of both metals and non metals. It is hence considered to be a metalloid.
A metalloid is an element that has both metallic and nonmetallic properties. When combined they form an alloy. Metalloids are usually semiconductors.
Boron is a metalloid, which means it has properties of both metals and nonmetals.
