Metalloids are the elements found between the boundary that |
|
distinguishes metals from non-metals. Metalloids have properties of |
|
both metals and non-metals. For example, they can be shiny or dull, |
|
and are more brittle than metals but less brittle than non-metals. |
|
Some of the Metalloids, such as Silicon and Germanium, are |
|
semi-conductors because they partially conduct electricity. |
