What type of element has some of the characteristics of metals and some of nonmetals?
Metalloids have characteristics of both metals and non-metals. They are located on the staircase of the periodic table. Some examples of metalloids are boron, silicon, arsenic, etc.
Is it Metalloids have some characteristics of both metals and nonmetals true or false?
True. Metalloids look like metals but are brittle and are not good conductors.
Do metalloids have characteristics of both metals and nonmetals?
Yes, metalloids used in electronics are called semiconductors.
What are the characteristics of semi metal?
Semi-metals (or metalloids) are good semiconductors. They have characteristics of both metals and nonmetals. They also have ranging reactivity levels.
