No. The nonmetal will take the electron from the metal, which makes this an ionic bond - not a "sharing" covalent bond.
Metalloids
An element that has properties of both metals and non-metals is called Metalloid. Example is Germanium.
Metals are more likely to donate electrons to form ionic compounds. However, some transition metals such as mercury and tin can form covalent bonds in which the metal shares an electron with another atom
ionic transfers electrons, coavlent shares electrons and ionic has a metal and a nonmetal while covalent has 2 nonmetals
Phosphorus achieves a noble gas configuration by gaining or sharing electrons to fill its valence shell, typically reaching a total of eight electrons. This often occurs when phosphorus forms compounds, such as phosphides with metals or covalent compounds with nonmetals like oxygen and chlorine. In its most stable form, phosphorus can be found in Pā molecules, where it shares electrons with other phosphorus atoms, thus achieving a stable electronic arrangement.
Metalloids
Metalloids or semimetals are elements that share characteristics with both metals and nonmetals. They are found along the staircase on the periodic table, separating the metals from the nonmetals. Metalloids have properties intermediate between those of metals and nonmetals, such as being semi-conductive.

Metalloids
The elements that form a zigzag line on the periodic table belong to the metalloids group. Metalloids have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals. They typically exhibit characteristics of both groups, such as being semi-conductive and having varying degrees of metallic and non-metallic properties.
Silicon is a metalloid. It shares properties of both metals and nonmetals.
AnswerSemi-metal And a metalloid.
Metalloids can be found along the zig-zag line in the periodic table. Any element that shares at least 1 side with the zig-zag line is a metalloid, excluding aluminium and antimony. Aluminum and antimony are metals.

Arsenic is a metalloid. It belongs to group 15 and has properties of both metals and non metals.
Although boron is a metalloid and the other elements in group 3A of the Periodic Table are metals, it is placed with group 3A because it has three valence electrons at its highest-energy orbitals. It is also a good conductor of electricity.
