This is a difficult question to give a precise answer, because metalloids is a category that spans the range between typical metallic elements and typical non-metallic elements. Here is a list of elements that might be regarded as metalloids, in approximate order from the most non-metallic to the most metallic:

B -- boron

Si -- silicon

As -- arsenic

Te -- tellurium

Ge -- germanium

Sb -- antimony

Po -- polonium

Sn -- tin

Bi -- bismuth

The problem is, then, that you might want to regard tin and bismuth as metals, or boron and silicon as non-metals, in which case you will be cutting this list of 9 elements down to fewer.
