Si is the short form for Silicon and silicon is not a metal.
Metals and nonmetals form ionic bonds.
Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity, while nonmetals are poor conductors. Metalloids have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals.
Moving from left to right on the periodic table, the elements generall go from metal to nonmetals.
Metals are located on the left side of the periodic table, nonmetals are on the right side, and metalloids are found along the zigzag line that separates metals and nonmetals. Metals tend to lose electrons, nonmetals tend to gain electrons, and metalloids have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals.
Metals are good conductors. Some non-metals are good conductors, but many others are not.
Silicon (Si) is a metalloid.
Metals: alkaline metals Nonmetals: halogens
because metalloids usually have properties that are similar to metals and nonmetals
Metals and nonmetals form ionic bonds.
The metalloids split the table these are a diagonal group of elements, B, Si, Ge, As, Sb and Te. To their right are the non metals to the left the metals. There are many more metals than any other type of element. See Wikipedia article "Periodic table (metals and non metals)"
Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity, while nonmetals are poor conductors. Metalloids have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals.
An element that has characteristics of both metals and nonmetals is a metalloid.
They are metals.
Semi-metals, or metalloids, are elements that have properties of both metals AND nonmetals. They are located on the periodic table in between the metals on the left side and the nonmetals on the right side.
Metalloids do not contain either metals or nonmetals. They are elements that have properties of both metals and metalloids, and are found between the metals and nonmetals on the periodic table.
Moving from left to right on the periodic table, the elements generall go from metal to nonmetals.
The metalloids (B, Si, Ge, As, Sb, Te, Po) are located between the nonmetals and the metals on the left side of the table.
