No. Sand is a mixture of different substances. The term metalloid applies to a particular class of elements. One metalloid, silicon, is one of the most abundant elements in sand to the point that silicon is often extracted from sand.
The most common metalloid elements (those behaving between the metals and non-metals) are: B, Si, Ge, Te, As, & Sb. Of these common ones only Si (silicon) occurs in sand, quartz (Silicon dioxide), granite (feldspar + quartz + mica), feldspar (alumino silicate), and clay (oxidized alumino silicate.) So the answer is Silicon.
Silicon is a metalloid. It shares properties of both metals and nonmetals.
Silicon dioxide (SiO2) is a compound.
silicones are classified as metalloid as it is a semi conductor. moreover,they are water repellent,inert,can resist high temperature without decomposing,and are in the form of oil and wax....
Boron is an element and is classified as a metalloid, which is solid at room temperature.
Glass. Sand.
A metalloid is a transition metal. Examples of materials containing a metalloid are sand and glass. They both contain silicon dioxide.
It is a metalloid. It is in the p block.
No, Al is not a metalloid.
silocon is a metalloid!! :)
Germanium is a metalloid.
