what are the properties of mettaloids
Answers
Properties. Metalloids usually look like metals but behave largely like nonmetals. 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 HELPS YOU DEAR
Explanation:
Metalloids have properties that are between the properties of nonmetals and metals. Most metalloids have:
1. An appearance that is similar to metals
2. They are less conductive than metal
3. They are more brittle than metals
4. Metalloids have nonmetallic chemical properties in general
Other properties of metalloids include: being good semiconductors, typically solid under ordinary conditions, can form alloys when combined with metals, typically act like nonmetals in chemical reactions.
