semi-metals
The term "metalloid" properly does not designate any particular element but rather a type of element that has some common properties with both metals and nonmetals. Of course, any element having this characteristic may be called a metalloid.
Elements that have some characteristics of a metal and some characteristics of a nonmetal are called semimetals or metalloids.
Metals
Most elements - metals and non-metals - have both stable and radioactivie isotopes. If an element is a type of atom, an isotope is something like a "sub-type". Two isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons, but a different number of neutrons.Most elements - metals and non-metals - have both stable and radioactivie isotopes.

A metalloid :)
Yes, metalloids are elements that have properties of both metals and nonmetals.

alkaline earth metals
Elements can be classified as metals, metalloids, and non-metals.
Elements that have some characteristics of a metal and some characteristics of a nonmetal are called semimetals or metalloids.
An element is a substance made entirely from one type of atom. An element is a substance consisting of only one type of atom. ... The different types of elements are: Metals. Non - Metals. Metalloids.
Hydrogen is an example of an element. Elements come in 3 basic type (though specifics do exist.) They can be classified as either, metals, non-metals, and metalloids. Some examples of specific types are the alkali earth metals, transition metals, lanthanides, halogens, and noble gases.<br><p></p><p>
Metals
Metals. About 74% of the elements are metals.
Metalloids have characteristics of both metals and non-metals. They are located on the staircase of the periodic table. Some examples of metalloids are boron, silicon, arsenic, etc.
They are called metalloids or semi metals. Ga,Ge,Si are few examples. They have both metal and non metal properties.
