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....
No, silicon is not a transition metal. It is a metalloid that is commonly found in rocks, sand, and soil, and is used in the production of various electronic devices like computer chips. Transition metals are elements found in the central block of the periodic table that exhibit characteristic properties, such as forming colored compounds and multiple oxidation states.
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.

So the answer is Silicon.
Boron is a metalloid
Germanium is a metalloid.
silocon is a metalloid!! :)
It all depends on where the sand is sourced from, as sand is simply crushed rocks weathered down over millions of years. It is used in the manufacture of glass and silicon.
Yes. Tellurium is a metalloid.
metalloid
Yes, Sulfer is a metalloid.
