Semi-metals (or metalloids) are good semiconductors. They have characteristics of both metals and nonmetals. They also have ranging reactivity levels.
Yes it is a metalloid, due to the fact that it is between non metals and metals and the fact that it shows characteristics of both...
Semi-metals, also known as metalloids, exhibit properties of both metals and nonmetals. While they have some metallic characteristics, they are not considered true metals. Instead, semi-metals are a distinct category in the periodic table.
The most abundant semi-metal in earth's crust is arsenic.
Aluminum is not classified as a semi-metal; it is classified as a metal. Semi-metals, or metalloids, have properties that are intermediate between metals and non-metals. Aluminum is known for its lightweight, malleability, and high conductivity, which are characteristic of metals. Therefore, aluminum is correctly classified simply as a metal.
They are usually called metalloids. They are in the middle of being a metal and a non-metal
No, helium is not a semi-metal. It is a noble gas that exists as a monatomic gas at room temperature and does not exhibit the properties of semi-metals, which are elements that have characteristics of both metals and nonmetals.
Yes, although they won't conduct it as well as regular metals. Semi-metals have characteristics of both metals and nonmetals.
Boron is considered a semi-metal because it exhibits properties of both metals and non-metals. It has some metallic characteristics, such as electrical conductivity, but also shows non-metallic properties like brittleness. This dual behavior places boron in the category of semi-metal.

It is a semi-metal. (: Your welcome
Boron is classified as a metalloid or semi-metal. It has properties that are between those of metals and nonmetals.
Neither it is a metalloid or semi-metal. It has both metallic and nonmetallic properties.
Germanium has been said by many to be a metal, but it is only carrying characteristics of a metal so it can be called a semi-metal. Despite this Germanium is most usually classed as a metalloid.
No, plutonium is a radioactive metal, not a semi-metal. It belongs to the actinide series of the periodic table.
a metal or semi-metal
A non-metal.
Vanadium is a metal.
