Is it Metalloids have some characteristics of both metals and nonmetals true or false?
True. Metalloids look like metals but are brittle and are not good conductors.
What is the definition of metalloid?
A Metalloid Is An Element Which Has Intermediate Properties Between Metals & Nonmetals ;)A product made of or to do with metal.A metalloid can have properties of both metals and nonmetals. Some examples of metalloids are Boron, Silicon, Germanium and Arsenic.
Are metals and nonmetals and nonmetals are both good conductors?
Metals are good conductors. Some non-metals are good conductors, but many others are not.
What are the general and characteristics of metals and non metals and metalloids?
Metals: Shiny 'metallic' appearance Solids at room temperature (except mercury) High melting points High densities Large atomic radii Non Metals: High ionization energies High electronegativities Poor thermal conductors Poor electrical conductors Brittle solids Little or no metallic luster Gain electrons easily Metalloids: Electronegativities between those of metals and nonmetals Ionization energies between those of metals and nonmetals Possess some characteristics of metals/some of nonmetals Reactivity depends on properties of other elements in reaction Often make good semiconductors
What are similarities of metals metalloids and nonmetals?
Some similarities of metals, nonmetals, and metalliods are that they all have a sound when hit, and all have a grayish like color.
An element that has characteristics of both metals and nonmetals is a what?
AnswerThey are known as metalloids or semimetals. Some metalloids are: boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, tellurium, polonium, and astatine. (Eh-hem, sorry to edit but I asked this question! -.-)
What is an element that has some characteristics of metals and non-metals?
Elements that have some characteristics of a metal and some characteristics of a nonmetal are called semimetals or metalloids.

Is it Metalloids have some characteristics of both metals and nonmetals true or false?
True. Metalloids look like metals but are brittle and are not good conductors.
An element that has some characteristics of both metals and nonmetals?
any of the metalloids. find a periodic table. there should be a thick line that looks like a set of stairs towards the right side of the table. any element along that line is a metalloid.

What are mettaloids?
Metalloids are the border lines between the metals and the nonmetals in the Periodic Table.
