A metalloid is a chemical element which has a preponderance of properties in between, or that are a mixture of, those of metals and nonmetals. The word metalloid comes from the Latin metallum ("metal") and the Greek oeides ("resembling in form or appearance"). [1]
Metalloids are elements that have both metal and nonmetal characteristics. Learn about the seven metalloids, their general properties, applications in various fields, and medical uses with examples and FAQs.
3 Σεπ 2014 · Learn about the seven metalloid elements and their properties, uses, and locations on the periodic table. Metalloids are elements with intermediate characteristics of metals and nonmetals.
Lists of metalloids differ since there is no rigorous widely accepted definition of metalloid (or its occasional alias, 'semi-metal'). Individual lists share common ground, with variations occurring at the margins. The elements most often regarded as metalloids are boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony and tellurium.
14 Ιουλ 2023 · Boron, germanium, silicon, antimony, arsenic, and tellurium are the six most common metalloids. In addition to the aforementioned six elements, the classification of metalloid elements occasionally encompasses the inclusion of bismuth, polonium, and astatine.
15 Νοε 2024 · 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. There is no single property which can be used to unambiguously identify an element as a metalloid.
Metalloids are metallic-looking, often brittle solids that are either semiconductors or exist in semiconducting forms, and have amphoteric or weakly acidic oxides. Typical elemental nonmetals have a dull, coloured or colourless appearance; are often brittle when solid; are poor conductors of heat and electricity; and have acidic oxides.
