Semiconductors!!
The elements that are commonly recognized as metalloids or semimetals are boron (B), silicon (Si), germanium (Ge), arsenic (As), antimony (Sb), and tellurium (Te). These elements exhibit properties of both metals and nonmetals, such as being good conductors of electricity but also brittle and less malleable.
Metalloids are known as semi-conductors meaning they can conduct electricity, but they are not good conductors. Metals are good conductors. Non-metals are bad conductors.
Metallic elements are found on the left side of the periodic table, in the groups 1, 2, and 3, as well as in the middle of the periodic table in groups 13 to 16. These elements tend to have properties like good conductivity, luster, and malleability.
Group 15 elemnts, N, P, do form ionic compounds, nitrides and phosphides, N3- and P3- ions the heavier elements arsenic antimony and bismuth also form -ide compounds some arsenides are mainly ionic but the antimonides and bismuthides are less so. Wikipedia entries on the arsenides, antimonides and bismuthides are not very good so use a text book!
Some elements that are known to violate the octet rule are: Hydrogen, Helium and Lithium (two electrons) Aluminum and Boron (less than octet but will form an octet if possible), Period 3 elements with p orbitals (more than an octet using empty d orbitals), noble gas compounds (more than an octet), and elements like nitrogen with an odd number of electrons (form free radicals when octets are not possible).
Both metal and boron are elements found on the periodic table. They both have distinct physical properties that make them versatile for use in various applications, such as metals being good conductors of heat and electricity, while boron can bond with other elements to form compounds with unique properties.
Actinium, Aluminum, Americium, Antimony, Argon, Arsenic and Astatine are chemical elements. They begin with the letter A.
No, antimony is not a good conductor of electricity. It is classified as a metalloid and exhibits semiconductor properties.
They are only fair to high (intermediate) conductors of electricity and heat, except that silicon is a good heat conductor. Metalloids include boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, and tellurium.
Aluminum has similar properties to boron. Both elements are classified as metalloids and share characteristics such as high melting points, good electrical conductivity, and forming covalent compounds.

Boron is a semiconductor, meaning it has an intermediate level of conductivity between insulators and conductors. In its pure form, boron is not a good conductor of electricity, but its conductivity can be enhanced by doping or combining it with other elements.
We generally refer to these elements as semiconductors. There is something akin to a "diagonal line of elements" in the periodic table that separates the metals from the nonmetals. Elements on the left of this diagonal are metals, and elements on the right are nonmetals. The elements that make up this diagonal are boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, tellurium, polonium, and astatine, and they have both metallic and nonmetallic properties. awesome mean something good.
Yes, antimony is a good conductor of both heat and electricity.
Boron is not a good conductor of electricity at room temperature, but is a good conductor at a high temperature.
Metalloids such as silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, and tellurium have properties of both metals and nonmetals. They typically exhibit characteristics of both metallic elements (like being good semiconductors) and nonmetallic elements (like being brittle).
Yes it is but it is not good for electricity!!
