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 when used is electronics are called semiconductors.
Zinc has two valence electrons.
