They have properties of metals and non-metals, and also have properties that are around '1/2' of both. An example is silicon, which has a high melting point and is solid (metallic properties). However it is very brittle and it forms an acidic oxide (non-metal). It is a semi-conductor.
Their hardness will be less than that of metals but more than that of non metals. Hence the name, semi metals or metalloids.
i believe it is metalloids
They are usually called metalloids. They are in the middle of being a metal and a non-metal
Their properties are similar with non-metals and metals. That's why they're called semi-metals. They are reactive depending on the element they are reacting with, and they are semi-conductors.
Semi-metals, also known as metalloids, are found along the staircase line on the periodic table. Some examples of semi-metals include boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, and tellurium. These elements show properties of both metals and nonmetals.

Silicon and germanium are called semi-metals because they have properties of both metals and non-metals. They can conduct electricity like metals but not as well, and they can behave as insulators depending on the conditions. This intermediate behavior places them in a category between metals and non-metals.
Boron is considered a semi-metal because it exhibits properties of both metals and non-metals. It has some metallic characteristics, such as electrical conductivity, but also shows non-metallic properties like brittleness. This dual behavior places boron in the category of semi-metal.
The organization of the elements (metals, non-metals, and semi-metals) which is known as the Periodic Table Of Elements.
1.metals, semi-metals, non metals 2.Solid, liquid, gas 3.Conductors Semi-conductors Insulators
No metal is semiconductor. By definition metal is conductor. There are metalloids elements. Like silicon and germanium. They are semiconductors. There is no hard and fast definition of such elements.

Semi-metals or metalloids. The elements boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, tellurium, and astatine have properties similar to both metals and non-metals. These elements are located along the semi-metal line of the periodic table.
Their properties are similar with non-metals and metals. That's why they're called semi-metals. They are reactive depending on the element they are reacting with, and they are semi-conductors.
