What are Metalloids? Properties? Postion in the periodic table? Learn with Kimavi in just one minute!

Metalloids are elements with properties of both metals and non-metals.

They are located in the periodic table in a zig-zag line between the metals and non-metals.

They have some metallic properties such as electrical conductivity and ductility but they also have non-metallic properties such as brittleness and semiconducting properties.

Examples of metalloids are boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, and tellurium.

They are used in semi-conductors as they have properties of both metals and non-metals.

Metalloids are brittle, have low boiling points, and are poor conductors of heat and electricity.

They are called Semi-metals or Polyatomic metals as they have properties of both metals and non-metals.
