Nonmetals have tightly held electrons due to their high electronegativity and ionization energies. They tend to attract electrons rather than lose them, resulting in strong bonding characteristics. This property allows them to form covalent bonds readily with other nonmetals. In contrast, metals typically have loosely held electrons, which contribute to their conductivity and malleability.
Silicon is in Group 4A or 14.
Its group 16
halogen NOTE added by Dr.J.): A halogen doesn't have a few valence electrons. They have 7 valence electrons.
there are two elements. those are tin and lead. Tin and lead are NOT metalloids. The two metalloids in group 14 (same group as Carbon) would be silicon (Si) and germanium (Ge).
Metalloids are located in a diagonal line on the periodic table that separates metals and nonmetals. They are found in Group 13 to 17, starting with boron in Group 13 and ending with astatine in Group 17. Some examples of metalloids include silicon, germanium, and arsenic.

Some share the same amount of valence electrons. Some could be classified in the same group such as metals, Nonmetal, Metalloids.
On the Periodic Table there is a zigzag line (staircase) running along group 13 to group 16. Metalloids are the elements along the staircase. The six elements commonly recognized as metalloids are boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony and tellurium.
Because they are neither metals nor non-metals

No, metalloids are not all man-made. Metalloids are a group of elements on the periodic table that have properties of both metals and nonmetals. Some metalloids, like boron and silicon, are naturally occurring elements.
