No. They have a superficial resemblance to metals as they look shiny. However in other respects they are quite different . They are brittle rather than ductile; semiconductors rather than good conductors. They do form ionic compounds where they are cations, but generally form covalent compounds. However there are compounds where they form anions when reacted with highly electropositive metals.

What is classification for the elements that have properties of both metals and non metals?
Elements that have properties of both metals and nonmetals are classified as metalloids. Metalloids have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals, such as being able to conduct electricity but not as effectively as metals. Examples of metalloids include silicon and arsenic.

How are metalloids differents from metals and nonmetals?
because metalloids usually have properties that are similar to metals and nonmetals
Rocks rich in metals are known as?
metalloids
What are the elements called that are between metals and nonmetals?
Those elements are called metalloids. They have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals.
What are the three classes of elements?
The three classes of elements are metals, nonmetals, and metalloids. Metals are typically shiny, solid at room temperature, and good conductors of heat and electricity. Nonmetals are usually dull in appearance, brittle, and poor conductors of heat and electricity. Metalloids have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals.
Why aren't metalloids in the metal group?
Because they are neither metals nor non-metals
What are the three major groups of elements on the periodic table?
The three major groups of elements on the periodic table are metals, nonmetals, and metalloids. Metals are typically shiny, conduct heat and electricity well, while nonmetals are usually dull, poor conductors, and can be gases. Metalloids share properties of both metals and nonmetals.
Which part of the periodic table or metals and metalloids?
Metals or metalloids occupy all but the top right had corner of the table.

Is the human body mostly made up of metals nonmetals or metalloids?
metalloids
