Detailed explanation-1: -What are Metalloids? Metalloids exhibit some properties of metals as well as non-metals. Hence, they are also known as semi-metals. Boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, and tellurium are the most commonly recognized metalloids.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -Boron (B) Boron has atomic number 5. Arsenic (As) Arsenic has atomic number 33. Silicon (Si) Silicon has atomic number 14. Antimony (Sb) Antimony has an atomic number of 51. Polonium (Po) Tellurium (Te) Germanium (Ge)
