Metalloids are elements with properties of both metals and nonmetals. Think of them like the Switzerland of the periodic table—they just can't choose a side! Examples include silicon and boron.

Metalloids are those elements that have characteristics of both metals and non-metals. They're like the jack-of-all-trades of the periodic table!

Metalloids have characteristics that are in-between metals and nonmetals. Look for elements like silicon and arsenic.

Metalloids kinda sit on the fence between metals and non-metals. Boring? Nope. Try telling that to your computer's silicon chip!

They're elements with properties in-between metals and non-metals. Silicon is a notable example.
