Metalloids when used is electronics are called semiconductors.
Metalloids typically have 3 to 6 valence electrons. This intermediate number of valence electrons allows metalloids to exhibit both metal and non-metal characteristics.
No, metalloids typically do not have a full valence shell of electrons. They have properties that are in between metals and nonmetals, which means they can exhibit characteristics of both types of elements.
halogen NOTE added by Dr.J.): A halogen doesn't have a few valence electrons. They have 7 valence electrons.
• Metalloids: usually form covalent bonds with atoms of metals, nonmetals and other metalloids. They can easily take electrons from metals and lose electrons to nonmetals. • Metalloids: usually form covalent bonds with atoms of metals, nonmetals and other metalloids. They can easily take electrons from metals and lose electrons to nonmetals. They form because they want their valence shell to be full. Metals usually lose valence electrons because they want to stabilize their valence shell. Metalloids depends because they have different properties of metals and non metals.
Metalloids can conduct heat and electricity under conditions where they have partially filled valence electrons. This allows them to exhibit some metallic properties. However, metalloids are not as efficient conductors as metals nor as insulators as nonmetals.

4, like all semiconductors.
No, metalloids typically do not have a full valence shell of electrons. They have properties that are in between metals and nonmetals, which means they can exhibit characteristics of both types of elements.
Valence electrons only are able to cross the energy gap in semiconductors since it is greater than that of conductors. That is why semiconductors have fewer free electrons than conductors.

In semiconductors free electrons are in conduction bands.
because its valence electrons are free and it is used to the free moving of electrons..so they are used as semiconductors

The quantum mechanical energy band where electrons reside in semiconductors that participate in interatomic bonding.
Valence electrons only are able to cross the energy gap in semiconductors since it is greater than that of conductors. That is why semiconductors have fewer free electrons than conductors.
Silicon, the most widely used semiconductor, has four valence electrons. This places it in between the conductive metals, which have one to three valence electrons, and the non-conductive non-metals which have five to eight valence electrons.
Valence electrons are the electrons on the outer circle of the Bohr Diagram of the element.Dot diagrams are the same as Bohr Diagrams.BOHR/DOT DIAGRAM:VALENCE ELECTRONS:
