Metalloids share some properties with metals, such as conductivity and luster, allowing them to be useful in electronics and other applications. However, they differ from metals in that they are typically more brittle and can act as semiconductors, meaning they can conduct electricity better than non-metals but not as well as metals. Additionally, metalloids can have varied chemical properties, making them more similar to non-metals in certain reactions.
metaloid and metal
No, sodium is not a metaloid. It is a metal, specifically an alkali metal, due to its properties such as being highly reactive and having a low melting point.
Silicon is a metalloid.
Lead is a soft ductile metal.
it is a metal element. It is not a non metal or metaloid.
