What else can I help you with?
What is metalloide?
A metalloid is an element that has properties of both metals and nonmetals. These elements are typically semiconductors and have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals. Examples of metalloids include silicon, arsenic, and germanium.
Can an element be both metal and non-metal?
no, but there are metalloids, which have properties of both metals and non metals
What if your friend tells you that a shiny element has to be a metal do you agree?
No; think of carbon. This is a non-metallic element; it exists in the forms of diamond and graphite - both "shiny" substances.
What is the only element that can act as a metal and a nonmetal?
The element that can exhibit properties of both a metal and a nonmetal is called metalloid. Examples include silicon, germanium, and arsenic. Metalloids have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals.
Is magnesium a non metal or metal?
Magnesium is a metal. It is a shiny, silver-white metal that is a good conductor of both electricity and heat.
Which element behaves chemically as both metal and non metal?
There are four such elements. Namely aluminium, zinc, tin and lead.

What element behaves MOST like magnesium?
Calcium is an element that behaves most like magnesium due to their similar chemical properties. They are both alkaline earth metals, have similar reactivity, and form similar compounds.
What Element has both metal and nonmetal characteristics?
metalloids
What element is both chalcogen and a metal?
Tellurium is both a chalcogen and a metalloid.
Is oxygen both a metal and non-metal?
No, oxygen is not a metal. It is a non-metal. Oxygen is a chemical element found in the non-metal group on the periodic table.
Why a metal alloy behaves differently to a pure metal?
A metal alloy behaves differently than a pure metal because the different chemical properties of the metals in an alloy both contribute to the alloy's properties. Certain alloys may be stronger than the original metals because one metal may fill a "gap" in the other's structure. Of course, other properties besides strength are also changed in an alloy.
What is a metalloi?
A metalloid is a chemical element that has a mixture of both metal and nonmetal characteristics
Is vanadium polar or non polar?
Vanadium is an example of d-block element or transition metal. It is a hard, silvery gray, ductile and malleable transition metal. The element is found only in chemically combined form in nature, but once isolated artificially, the formation of an oxide layer stabilizes the free metal somewhat against further oxidation.
Are copper chloride and solid metal element are same?
No. Copper chloride isn't an element, since it has both copper and chlor in it.
What element is part of both of the non-flammable compounds in a table?
The element that is part of both non-flammable compounds in a table is helium. It is a noble gas that is known for being chemically inert and non-flammable.
Is spoonful of salt in water compound or element?
The salt and water separately are both compounds (chemically bonded), ie; are different elements put together. Salt in water is a mixture that is not chemically bonded and can be separated easily. :)
