What is a metalloid?

Back

A metalloid is an element that has properties of both metals and nonmetals. They are typically semiconductors of electricity.

Front

List three examples of metalloids.

Back

Boron, Silicon, and Arsenic.

Front

What property is commonly associated with metalloids?

Back

Intermediate electrical conductivity.

Front

How can you classify Mercury based on its properties?

Back

Mercury is classified as a metal because of its conductivity and shininess.

Front

What is the definition of a nonmetal?

Back

A nonmetal is an element that typically lacks the properties of metals, such as conductivity and malleability.

Front

Give an example of a nonmetal.

Back

Oxygen.

Front

What is the definition of a metal?

Back

A metal is an element that is typically shiny, malleable, ductile, and a good conductor of heat and electricity.

Front

Give an example of a metal.

Back

Iron.

Front

What is the significance of a Venn Diagram in comparing elements?

Back

A Venn Diagram visually represents the similarities and differences between two or more elements.

Front

What is the main characteristic of metalloids that differentiates them from metals?

Back

Metalloids have intermediate properties, meaning they are not as conductive as metals but more conductive than nonmetals.
