When a substance exhibits properties of both metals and nonmetals, it is referred to as a "metalloid." Metalloids typically have a mix of characteristics, such as conductivity that is intermediate between metals and nonmetals. Common examples of metalloids include silicon, germanium, and arsenic. They are often used in semiconductor applications due to their unique properties.
What else can I help you with?
How do you differentiate a metal from a nonmetal using instrument?
A metal conducts heat better than a nonmetal. If you put a metal and a non-metal in boiling water for the same amount of time, the metal will be hotter than the non-metal. If you put a metal and non-metal in ice water for the same amount of time, the metal will be colder than the non-metal. Also, metal conducts electricity better than non-metal. You can use metal and non-metal wires to conduct a battery, and see which one works better.
Is Selenium a transition metal?
No, Selenium is not a transition metal. It is a nonmetal element found in the oxygen group of the periodic table. Transition metals are characterized by their ability to form multiple oxidation states, which Selenium does not exhibit.
How do you name a compound when the elements are in the same column in the periodic table?
Actually, these rules don't have so much to do with the same column as the same metal/nonmetal grouping on the periodic table. If they are both nonmetals, then you use numeric prefixes on each element or chemical group that is involved, because the number of oxidation states often varies, and the name needs to explicitly state what the chemical bonding is: - PO4 - phosphorus tetroxide - P2O5 - diphosphorus pentoxide If you have a metal and a nonmetal, then you just specify the metal (if it is a transition metal, with multiple oxidation states, then specify the oxidation number) and the nonmetal with "-ide" suffix: - NaCl - sodium chloride - Cu(OH)2 - copper (II) hydroxide
What is larger a metal atom or nonmetal atom in same period?
In the same period of the periodic table, metal atoms are generally larger than nonmetal atoms. This is because metal atoms have fewer protons and electrons, resulting in a weaker effective nuclear charge that allows their outer electrons to be further away from the nucleus. As you move across a period from left to right, the increasing nuclear charge pulls the electrons closer, causing nonmetals to have a smaller atomic radius compared to metals.
What nonmetal in the same group as lead?
Carbon, Silicon (a metalloid), Germanium (a metalloid),
Why is it safer to use a nonmetal spoon when cooking something on the stove?
It is safer to use...say a wooden spoon instead of a metal spoon because metal is a heat conductor...or when metal touches heat the heat goes through the metal (it does the same with electricity). There is a simple answer for it!
Which substance has a chemical formula with the same ratio of metal ions to nonmetal ions as in potassium sulfide?
lithium, sodium, caesium, rubidium sulphides: Me2S.
Is francium a metaloid nonmetal or a metal?
Francium is a metal, specifically an alkali metal. It is in the same group as sodium and potassium on the periodic table.
What metal and nonmetal used in transportation?
Most metals are used somewhere in transportation. The same is the case for nonmetals.
Which metal and non metal in the same group?
The metal and non-metal in the same group are Hydrogen and Sodiim

Is sulfur metallic or non metallic?
Amorfous sulfur is a yellow powder, this is nothing like metal, so sulfur is a nonmetal (the same as e.g. carbon)

How are replacement reactions similar to one another?
I think you mean displacement reactions. There are 2 types of displacement reactions: single, and double displacement. Single displacement is when a metal -nonmetal reacts with a metal or a nonmetal atom, and the metal or nonmetal atom switches places with the one in the molecule. Double displacement is when two molecules (same as above) react, and the metals/nonmetals (it doesn't really matter in this case) are swapped. They both have a switching of places between atoms, so I guess this is how they are similar.
Why is it safer to use a nonmetal mixing spoon when co0oking something on a stove?
Same reason you don`t stick metal into a toaster
