How can I classify metalloids?
1 Answer
The common classification for Metalloids are, possess some characteristics of metals and some of non-metals, semi-conductive, and are metallic lustre.
There are only seven classified elements:
- Boron
- Silicon
- Germanium
- Arsenic
- Antimony
- Tellurium
- Polonium
The best way of determining if an unknown element is a Metalloid is by checking if any characteristics of metals and non-metals can be found, if both are then you most likely have a Metalloid element.
