HEY!!
Metalloid is a term used in chemistry when classifying the chemical elements. On the basis of their general physical and chemical properties, nearly every element in the periodic table can be termed either a metal or a nonmetal. However, a few elements with intermediate properties are referred to as metalloids (from the Greek metallon = "metal" and eidos = "sort"). They are sometimes alternatively called and confused with semiconductors and semimetalsExampleas of some Metalloids are:-
1) Boron (B)
2) Silicon (Si)
