Metals are the pure substances by and show only characteristic properties of metals while a metalloid is an element which show some properties of metals and some properties of non metals as Aluminium, Zinc and Tin.
Elements that have properties of both metals and nonmetals are classified as metalloids. Metalloids have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals, such as being able to conduct electricity but not as effectively as metals. Examples of metalloids include silicon and arsenic.
The bonds between non metals and metalloids are covalent bonds.
Metals are located on the left side of the periodic table, nonmetals are on the right side, and metalloids are found along the zigzag line that separates metals and nonmetals. Metals tend to lose electrons, nonmetals tend to gain electrons, and metalloids have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals.
Metalloids typically have higher melting points than non-metal elements but lower melting points than most metals. This is because metalloids have properties that are intermediate between metals and non-metals, giving them melting points that fall between the two categories.
Metalloids when used is electronics are called semiconductors.
Those elements are called metalloids. They have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals.

The bonds between non metals and metalloids are covalent bonds.
metalloids also called semi-metals
The three classes of elements are metals, nonmetals, and metalloids. Metals are typically shiny, solid at room temperature, and good conductors of heat and electricity. Nonmetals are usually dull in appearance, brittle, and poor conductors of heat and electricity. Metalloids have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals.
Metalloids do not contain either metals or nonmetals. They are elements that have properties of both metals and metalloids, and are found between the metals and nonmetals on the periodic table.

metalloids are a cross between metals and nometals, meaning it has properties of BOTH metals and nonmetals.
Metalloids when used is electronics are called semiconductors.
