• 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
