metallisoiduille
Metallisoiduille is a term that refers to elements exhibiting properties intermediate between those of metals and nonmetals. These elements are also known as metalloids or semimetals. They are located on the periodic table along the diagonal line that separates metals from nonmetals, starting from boron and extending down to astatine.
The distinguishing characteristic of metalloids is their ability to conduct electricity and heat, though not as
Chemically, metalloids can behave as either metals or nonmetals depending on the elements they react with.
Commonly recognized metalloids include boron (B), silicon (Si), germanium (Ge), arsenic (As), antimony (Sb), and tellurium
