If that's a true/false question, then the answer is "false."
Otherwise I don't know what you mean.

Elements that are poor conductors of heat and electricity and break easily are called?
nonmetals
Elements that are in a vertical column in the periodic table that tend to share similar chemical properties and characteristics are called a?
The vertical elements are called groups. They have similar chemical properties.
How are groups in the periodic tabe arranged?
It's Is Arranged By Matals, NonMetals,Matalliods And Moble Gases
What are the most active nonmetals called?
halogens
Which element is a metal and non metal?
is what a metal or nonmetal???
What is an element that has some characteristics of metals and non-metals?
Elements that have some characteristics of a metal and some characteristics of a nonmetal are called semimetals or metalloids.
The elements that lack most of the properties of metals are called?
Nonmetals lack most of the properties of a metal.
What are semiametals?
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.
Metalloids are also called?
Metalloid elements are called so because they share properties of both metals and nonmetals. Boron, Silicon, Germanium, Arsenic, Antimony, Tellurium, and Polonium make up most of the metalloids.
What are the 4 main categories of elements found on the periodic table?
- The Group 1A elements are called alkali metals. - The Group 2A elements are called alkaline earth metals. - The nonmetals of Group 7A are called halogens. - The Group 8A elements are called the Noble Gases
Which elements have properties of both metals and nonmetals?
Elements having properties of both non-metals and metals are called Metalliods. Examples are boron, germanium, arsenic, silicon, antimony, etc.
Which group of elements share characteristics with both metals an nonmetals?
These elements are usually called the "metaloids" or "semi-metals."
Which category of elements would be the best choice for making a contaoner that can be dropped without shattering?
metalloids also called semiconductors, ae elements that have properties of both metal and nonmetals.
Why does the term semimetal fit certain elements so well?
They are actually called metalloid's. They are called such because their properties are between metals and nonmetal's in terms of physical properties and conductivity etc. A more technical definition is to look at the valence band energies.
What are elements with properties of both metals and nonmetals?
Elements with properties of both metals and nonmetals are called metalloids. They are located (rather conveniently) on the "stairstep" on the Periodic Table that separates metals and nonmetals. The metalloids are as follows:SiliconGermaniumArsenicAntimonyTelluriumScientists also suspect polonium is a metalloid, but they can't be sure as polonium is hard to test (it's very radioactive!).
What nonmetals that do not react naturally with other elements?
Nonmetals that do not react naturally with other elements are inert. These nonmetals are called the noble gases and are in Group 18 (VIIIA) on the Periodic Table.
What are elements called that have both characteristics of both metals and nonmetals?
These elements are metalloids.
