Answer 2

Metalloids are elements that have properties intermediate between those of metals and non-metals. Metalloids can also be called semi-metals or border of metals and non-metals.

• They don't fit distinctly into categories of metals and non-metals.
• In the periodic table, the elements that are colored yellow, bordering the stair-step line, are considered to be metalloids.
• Aluminum also borders the line but it is considered as a metal as all of its properties are like those of metals.
• Some important examples of metalloids include:
• Silicon that is is used extensively in computer chips and other electronics as its electrical conductivity is in between that of a metal and a nonmetal.
• It has luster like a metal, but is brittle like a nonmetal.
• Boron is another important metalloid. It is incorporated into a number of compounds like borosilicates, borax, borazine.
• Arsenic is used as a wood preservative.
