- they look like metals but they don't conduct electricity hence they are "semiconductors".
- they are brittle
- chemically,they behave mostly as nonmetals
- they can form alloys with metals.
- most common metalloids are BORON, SILICON, GERMANIUM,ARSENIC, ANTIMONY. all remaining are least common or not well known as metalloids
hope it helps...
