Metalloids are elements in the Periodic Table that have properties of both metals and nonmetals. They typically have characteristics such as semiconductivity, varying electrical conductivity, and the ability to form alloys with metals. Examples of metalloids include silicon, arsenic, and germanium.

Are most elements metals nonmetals or matalloids?

The most of the chemical elements are metals. Most are transition metals (located in the middle of the Periodic Table).


Where are the matalloids in the periodic table of elements?

A metalloid is a chemical element with properties that are in-between or a mixture of those of metals and nonmetals, and which is considered to be difficult to classify unambiguously as either a metal or a nonmetal. The six elements commonly recognized as metalloids are boron, silicon,germanium, arsenic, antimony and tellurium.


What is the difference between a metal a nonmetal and a matalloids?

Metals are elements that are shiny, good conductors of heat and electricity, malleable, and ductile. Nonmetals are elements that are poor conductors of heat and electricity and are brittle in solid form. Metalloids have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals and can exhibit characteristics of both.


What does the periodic table tell you?

The periodic table tells you an element's atomic number and symbol. Also: how many elements that are found right now all the matalloids, metals, and not to mention the nonmetals. Most periodic tables that you see are classified by their properties. The periodic tables tells you how elements are arranged both vertically and horizontally according to their increasing atomic number.
