Metalloid - Wikipedia
WEBA metalloid is an element that possesses a preponderance of properties in between, or that are a mixture of, those of metals and nonmetals, and which is therefore hard to classify as either a metal or a nonmetal.
Metalloid | Definition, Elements, & Facts | Britannica
WEBmetalloid, in chemistry, an imprecise term used to describe a chemical element that forms a simple substance having properties intermediate between those of a typical metal and a typical nonmetal.
Metalloids - Definition, General Properties, Applications, FAQs
WEBMetalloids can be defined as chemical elements whose physical and chemical properties fall in between the metal and non-metal categories. Boron, germanium, silicon, antimony, arsenic, tellurium and pollanium are the seven most widely recognized metalloids.

WEBSep 20, 2022 · A metalloid is an element that has properties that are intermediate between those of metals and nonmetals. Metalloids can also be called semimetals. On the periodic table, the elements colored yellow, which generally border the stair-step line, are considered to be metalloids.
18.3: Structure and General Properties of the Metalloids
WEBOct 27, 2022 · Summary. The elements boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, and tellurium separate the metals from the nonmetals in the periodic table. These elements, called metalloids or sometimes semimetals, exhibit …
Properties of metals, metalloids and nonmetals - Wikipedia
WEBMetalloids are metallic-looking, often brittle solids that are either semiconductors or exist in semiconducting forms, and have amphoteric or weakly acidic oxides. Typical elemental nonmetals have a dull, coloured or colourless appearance; are often brittle when solid; are poor conductors of heat and electricity; and have acidic oxides.
Metalloids or Semimetals: Definition, List, Properties
WEBSep 14, 2019 · The metalloids or semimetals share properties of metals and nonmentals. Here are the metalloid definition, an element list, and their properties.
18.3 Structure and General Properties of the Metalloids
WEBThe metalloid silicon readily forms compounds containing Si-O-Si bonds, which are of prime importance in the mineral world. This bonding capability is in contrast to the nonmetal carbon, whose ability to form carbon-carbon bonds gives it prime importance in the plant and animal worlds.
Metalloids - Chemistry - Socratic
WEBMetalloids are unique because they have properties of both metals and non-metals. For example, boron acts as a nonmetal when it reacts with sodium, but it acts as a metal when it reacts with fluorine. Most metals have a characteristic lustre and are good conductors of heat and electricity.
