Some metalloids exhibit amphoteric behavior, meaning they can act as both acids and bases depending on the conditions. Examples include boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, and tellurium.
Metalloids can form oxides that are either acidic or amphoteric, meaning they can act as both acids and bases. The acidity of metalloid oxides depends on the specific metalloid element and its oxidation state. Some metalloids, like silicon, form acidic oxides, while others, like boron, form amphoteric oxides.
Metalloids are natural chemical elements.
The six elements commonly recognized as metalloids are boron, silicon,germanium, arsenic, antimony and tellurium. So that is six elements out of 112 elements or 5.4%
No, metalloids are not all man-made. Metalloids are a group of elements on the periodic table that have properties of both metals and nonmetals. Some metalloids, like boron and silicon, are naturally occurring elements.
Boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, and tellurium are the metalloids.
The "borderline" elements on the periodic table are the diagonal row of elements that separates the metals from the non-metals. They are called metalloids and the amphoteric line.

The acidity of metalloid oxides depends on the specific metalloid element and its oxidation state. Some metalloids, like silicon, form acidic oxides, while others, like boron, form amphoteric oxides.
Metalloids are natural chemical elements.
Those elements are called metalloids. They have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals.
Amphoteric elements are elements that can act as either acids or bases. Common examples include aluminum, zinc, and lead. These elements can form salts both with acids and bases.

Elements that form amphoteric oxides have the ability to react with both acids and bases. Common elements that form amphoteric oxides include aluminum, zinc, lead, and tin. These elements can exhibit both acidic and basic properties depending on the environment in which they are placed.
