Define the term metalloids?

Question

Answer

A metalloid is an element that possesses properties of both metals and non-metals, and which is, therefore, hard to classify as either a metal or a nonmetal.

Answer

Elements having both the properties of metals and nonmetals is known as metalloids

Answer

A metalloid is a type of chemical element which has properties in between, or that are a mixture of, those of metals and nonmetals

Answer

The elements classified as metalloids are boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, tellurium, and polonium. Metalloids can be viewed as a diagonal section on the Period Table, separating metals from nonmetals

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.

Answer

Metalloids are the elements which have both metals and non metals properties

Answer

Element which has both properties of metal and  non metal ....

Answer

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. Notice that aluminum borders the line, but it is considered to be a metal since all of its properties are like those of metals.

Examples of Metalloids

Figure 1. Silicon.

Silicon is a typical metalloid (see  Figure 1). It has luster like a metal, but is brittle like a nonmetal. Silicon is used extensively in computer chips and other electronics because its electrical conductivity is in between that of a metal and a nonmetal.

Boron is a versatile element that can be incorporated into a number of compounds (see  Figure 2). Borosilicate glass is extremely resistance to thermal shock. Extreme changes in the temperature of objects containing borosilicates will not create any damage to the material, unlike other glass compositions, which would crack or shatter. Because of their strength, boron filaments are used as light, high-strength materials for airplanes, golf clubs, and fishing rods. Sodium tetraborate is widely used in fiberglass as insulation and also is employed in many detergents and cleaners.

Figure 2. Boron.

Figure 3. Arsenic.

Figure 4. Antimony.

Arsenic has long played a role in murder mysteries, being used to commit the foul deed (see Figure 3). This use of the material is not very smart since arsenic can be easily detected on autopsy. We find arsenic in pesticides, herbicides, and insecticides, but the use of arsenic for these applications is decreasing due to the toxicity of the metal. Its effectiveness as an insecticide has led arsenic to be used as a wood preservative.

Antimony is a brittle, bluish-white metallic material that is a poor conductor of electricity (see Figure 4). Used with lead, antimony increases the hardness and strength of the mixture. This material plays an important role in the fabrication of electronic and semiconductor devices. About half of the antimony used industrially is employed in the production of batteries, bullets, and alloys

Answer

A metalloid is a type of chemical elements which has properties in between, or that are a mixture of, those of metals and nonmetals. There is neither a standard definition of a metalloid nor complete agreement on the elements appropriately classified as such. Despite the lack of specificity, the term remains in use in the literature of chemistry.

Answer

The material which have some properties of metals and some of non metals are metaloods
e.g silicon

Answer

Metalloids are elements which poses the properties of both metal and non metal.They cannot be classified as metal or non metal.Metalloids are also called as semi metals.Some examples of metalloids are
Germinium. Tellurium etc..
They are placed generally in the middle of the periodic table.

Answer

An element (e.g. arsenic, antimony, or tin) whose properties are intermediate between those of metals and solid nonmetals or semiconductors.

which has properties in between, or that are a mixture of, those of metals and nonmetals. There is neither a standard definition of a metalloid nor complete agreement on the elements appropriately classified as such. Despite the lack of specificity, the term remains in use in the literature of chemistry.

The six commonly recognised metalloids are boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, and tellurium. Five elements are less frequently so classified: carbon, aluminium, selenium, polonium, and astatine.

Answer

Elements with properties of both metals and non metals

Answer

A Metalloid is an element which has both the properties of metals and nonmetals.

Answer

The metalloids is a chemical elements that exhibit some properties of metals and non_metals.

Answer

Certain Elements have properties or characteristics of both metals and non metals! For example Antimony , arsenic ,Boron ,germanium ,silicon,tellurium ! These are called Metalloids

Answer

Substances which have properties of both metals and non metals

Answer

Metalloids are the elements that can neither be considered metal nor non metal because they show the characteristics of both.

Answer

It's an element intermediate in properties between the typical metals and nonmetals.

Answer

A metalloid is a type of chemical element which has properties in between, or that are a mixture of, those of metals and nonmetals.

Answer

It have properties of both metals and non metals..

Answer

Those element which have both the property of metal as wall as soon metal are called metelloid.Generally they have 4 valency.
