Question

what are metalloids? Write two properties of metalloids.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Metalloid, in chemistry, an imprecise term used to describe a chemical element that forms a simple substance having properties intermediate between those of a typical metal and a typical nonmetal.

Explanation:

Properties of metllaoids

(1) Metalloids usually look like metals but behave largely like nonmetals.

(2) Physically, they are shiny, brittle solids with intermediate to relatively good electrical conductivity and the electronic band structure of a semimetal or semiconductor.

hope this answer is helpful for you.

Answer 2

Answer:

Metalloids are the elements which are having a combination of some properties of metals along with some properties of nonmetals.

Two properties are :

• Metalloids tend to be good semiconductors
• Metalloids typically behave as nonmetals in chemical reactions, and they can create alloys with metals.
