Is antimony metallic or nonmetallic

Answer 1

Antimony is a metalloid which means that it has metallic and nonmetallic properties and it is element 51 in the Periodic Table lying in the diagonal metalloids in the p group. The metallic and nonmetallic properties may be, for example, that it is grey and shiny like a metal but it may also be brittle and not conduct heat and electricity like a nonmetal.

Answer 2

Antimony is considered to be a metalloid- as an element it is "between" being a metal and a non-metal. It has metallic appearance- but is a poor conductor of electricity. Unlike the other metalloids it is soft rather than brittle. It is often considered to be a metal- as it is used in alloys - such as pewter. Given the choice between metal and non-metal (ignoring the metalloid category) it is best described as a metal.
