Question

Metalloids, such as silicon, can be found on the periodic table along the border between metals and nonmetals. Which of the following best describes the physical and chemical properties of metalloids?
A.
Metalloids have exactly the same physical and chemical properties as metallic elements.

B.
Metalloids have exactly the same physical and chemical properties as nonmetallic elements.

C.
Metalloids have some of the physical and chemical properties of both metals and nonmetals.

D.
Metalloids have physical and chemical properties that are completely different from both metals and n

Answer 1

I would say C

Answer 2

Metalloids are the elements found along the stair-step line that distinguishes metals from non-metals. So they are having chemical properties and physical properties similar to both metals and non metals
