Metalloids typically have 3 to 6 valence electrons. This intermediate number of valence electrons allows metalloids to exhibit both metal and non-metal characteristics.

Do metalloids have a full valence shell of electrons?

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.

What type of bonding happens to metalloids and metals and why?

• 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.
