We generally refer to these elements as semiconductors. There is something akin to a "diagonal line of elements" in the Periodic Table that separates the metals from the nonmetals. Elements on the left of this diagonal are metals, and elements on the right are nonmetals. The elements that make up this diagonal are boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, tellurium, polonium, and astatine, and they have both metallic and nonmetallic properties. awesome mean something good.

∙ 9y agoThey are called semi-metals.They are often referred as metalloids.

∙ 8y agoElements with properties of both metals and non metals are called Metalloids.They can behave as metal as well as non metal.Example of metalloid is Boron and Silicon.

Is germanium a metal or non-metal?
Germanium is classified as a metallic element (some sources list it as semi-metallic)
Is boron a non-metal or a metal?
Neither it is a metalloid or semi-metal. It has both metallic and nonmetallic properties.
Element with both metallic and nonmetallic properties?
The items that contain more than one element and have metallic properties are known as alloys. They can be an intermetallic compound that lacks phase boundaries, a metallic phase mixture, or a solid element solution.
What element is more metallic gold or silver?
They are both metal...the more metallic looking of the two is silver
Elements that have some metallic and nonmetallic properties are known as?
Elements with properties of Metals and Non-metals are shown in the periodic table in the "stairs" which is the pattern seen on the right hand side of the periodic table consisting of the elements, Boron; Silicon; Germanium; Arsenic; Antimony; Tellurium; and Pollonium, that is according to the modern day periodic table. These elements are known as metalloids. Richard hope tht helps :D x
Does the element rubidium have both metallic and nonmetallic properties?
Rubidium (Rb) is an alkali metal.
Is germanium a metal or non-metal?
Germanium is classified as a metallic element (some sources list it as semi-metallic)
What does metalloid mean?
A metalloid is an element that has both metallic and nonmetallic properties. When combined they form an alloy. Metalloids are usually semiconductors.
Is boron a non-metal or a metal?
Neither it is a metalloid or semi-metal. It has both metallic and nonmetallic properties.
Element with both metallic and nonmetallic properties?
The items that contain more than one element and have metallic properties are known as alloys. They can be an intermetallic compound that lacks phase boundaries, a metallic phase mixture, or a solid element solution.
Is silicone a metal or a non metal?
Silicon is a metalloid, having both metallic and nonmetallic properties.
Is silcon a metal?
No, Silicon is a metalliod or semi-metal. This means it has both metallic and nonmetallic properties.
Are noble gasses elements with metallic and non metallic properties?
No. Noble gasses are elements that rarely, if ever form chemical bonds. The elements with both metallic and nonmetallic properties are the metalloids.
Is lithium chemical or physical properties?
It has both. It is a metallic element.
Which mineral can have a metallic and non metallic luster?
hematite can have both metallic and nonmetallic luster.
Is gypsum nonmetallic or metallic?
Gypsum is a salt (a compound made of both metallic and non-metallic elements).
Does a metallic atom and a nonmetallic atom both gain electron?
No. A metallic atom will typically lose electrons.
