What are the three main classifications of elements on the periodic table of element?

The three main classifications of elements on the periodic table are metals, nonmetals, and metalloids. Metals are typically shiny, good conductors of heat and electricity, and malleable. Nonmetals are usually dull in appearance, poor conductors of heat and electricity, and brittle. Metalloids have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals.

Is a metal a semi conductor?

No metal is semiconductor. By definition metal is conductor. There are metalloids elements. Like silicon and germanium. They are semiconductors. There is no hard and fast definition of such elements.


Do semi-metals count as a metal?

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.


Metalloids are also called?

Metalloid elements are called so because they share properties of both metals and nonmetals. Boron, Silicon, Germanium, Arsenic, Antimony, Tellurium, and Polonium make up most of the metalloids.


What is the most common semi metal?

Semi-metals or metalloids. The elements boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, tellurium, and astatine have properties similar to both metals and non-metals. These elements are located along the semi-metal line of the periodic table.
