Does zirconium and osmium belong to metalloids or semimetals on the periodic table?

Zirconium and osmium do not belong to metalloids or semimetals; they are both transition metals located in the d-block of the periodic table.

Where are semimetals found?

They are surrounding the staircase line in the periodic table. But not all of them are semimetals. Boron(B), Silicon(Si), Germanium(Ge), Arsenic(As), Antimony(Sb) and Tellurium(Te) are semimetals. Aluminum(Al) and Polonium(Po) are metals. The remaining ones surrounding the staircase line are non-metals.
