A metalloid :)
metalloid
Some molecular compounds, such as methyl mercury, contain both metals and nonmetals. Most molecular compounds contain only nonmetals, and all molecular compounds contain at least one nonmetal element.
No, some like Sulfur and Silicon are Nonmetals and Metalloids respectively.
Nonmetals are elements that are brittle and dull.
Elements that are classified as non-metals are characterized by a tendency to undergo chemical reactions in which they acquire electrons; this compares to metals which tend to lose electrons. In slightly more technical terms, this means that non-metals are oxidizing agents and metals are reducing agents; when you mix metals and non-metals together, they tend to react with each other, in what is sometimes called a redox reaction (reduction and oxidation). Other than that, non-metals are generally softer (or gaseous) and less shiny than metals are, they generally do not conduct electricity as well as metals do, they do not have the silvery color of metals.
There are specific factors that can contribute to a the properties of chemical elements. Some of these factors include the amount of valance electrons in the element.
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 are the border lines between the metals and the nonmetals in the Periodic Table.
Not of metals. Only the properties of non metals
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.

A metalloid is a chemical element that exhibits the properties of both metals and nonmetals. Since they are specific enough to be either of these classifications, they are called metalloids. Some examples include boron, silicon, and germanium.
Metals, nonmetals, and metalloids which are elements that have some of the same properties as metals but not all properties to make them a metal
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.
semi-metals
As we look across the periodic table from left to right, we see metals on the left, transition metals through the middle and nonmetals on the right. What we left out was that group of elements between the transition metals and the nonmetals, and these semimetals are called metalloids.Metaloids have properties that are in between those of transition metals and nonmetals, or perhaps properties that are some combination of those of transition metals and nonmetals. The elements in this group include boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony and tellurium.
A metalloid has some properties of both metals and nonmetals, and some, like silicon and germanium are semiconductors.
