When metalloids are found in nature, they are usually in the form of compounds or minerals. They can be commonly found in ores such as bauxite, borax, or arsenopyrite. In their pure elemental form, metalloids are rare in nature.
Periodic Table:•On either side of the dividing line between Metals and Non-Metals. •Metalloids with more Metallic Behavior are found on the Metal side. •Metalloids with more Non-Metal Behavior are found on the Non-Metal side.
The semiconductors are found primarily in the transition metals groups and are referred to as metalloids.
metals are malleable in nature
There are 17 nonmetals and only 6 metalloids.
Two metalloids found in period 4 are silicon and germanium. These elements have properties intermediate between metals and nonmetals, making them useful in semiconductors and other electronic applications.

because metalloids usually have properties that are similar to metals and nonmetals
In the nature the majority of chemical elements are found as compounds.
the metalloids
The semiconductors are found primarily in the transition metals groups and are referred to as metalloids.
The most common metalloids found in the periodic table are boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, and tellurium.
