A metalloid :)
No, not all solid elements are metals. There are three main types of elements: metals, nonmetals, and metalloids. While metals make up the majority of the periodic table, there are also nonmetals and metalloids which have different properties and characteristics.
Silicon is a metalloid, which means it has properties of both metals and nonmetals. It has some characteristics of metals, such as conductivity, but also some nonmetallic properties, like brittleness.
Molecular compounds are typically made up of nonmetals. Metals tend to form ionic compounds with nonmetals, whereas nonmetals tend to share electrons with other nonmetals, resulting in the formation of molecular compounds through covalent bonding.
Not all metals are magnetic; while some metals like iron, nickel, and cobalt are magnetic, others like aluminum and copper are not. Similarly, some nonmetals like oxygen and hydrogen are diamagnetic (very weakly repelled by magnetic fields), while others like carbon and sulfur are diamagnetic as well. Therefore, the magnetic properties of an element do not depend solely on whether it is a metal or nonmetal.
Elements that exhibit moderate electrical conductivity include metals like aluminum, zinc, and copper. These metals are not as conductive as metals such as silver or gold, but still allow for the flow of electrical current with some resistance.
Metalloids are the border lines between the metals and the nonmetals in the Periodic Table.
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.
Metalloids have properties of both metals and nonmetals. They can conduct electricity like metals but are brittle like nonmetals. Some examples of metalloids are silicon and germanium.
Metalloids have some properties of both metals and nonmetals. They can exhibit characteristics of metals, such as conductivity, and characteristics of nonmetals, such as brittleness. Metalloids are found in a staircase pattern on the periodic table between metals and nonmetals.
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.
A metalloid is an element that has properties of both metals and nonmetals. These elements have characteristics of metals, such as being good conductors of electricity, as well as nonmetallic properties, such as being brittle in solid form. Examples of metalloids include silicon and arsenic.
Not of metals. Only the properties of non metals
Metalloids are elements that have properties of both metals and nonmetals. They typically have characteristics of both categories, such as being semi-conductive and having varying reactivity. Examples of metalloids include silicon and arsenic.
Semi-metals have some properties of metals and some from nonmetals. Semi-metals are solid at room temperature. They are also brittle, hard, and somewhat reactive.

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! -.-)
A metalloid is an element that has some characteristics of both metals and nonmetals. Metalloids are found in a diagonal line between metals and nonmetals on the periodic table, such as silicon and arsenic.
