BeauMetalloids are elements that have properties of both metals and nonmetals. They are located in between metals and nonmetals on the Periodic Table and include elements like silicon, arsenic, and germanium. Metalloids typically have a combination of metallic and nonmetallic properties, such as being semi-conductive in nature.

What are metaloids also called?
semimetal
What are the elements that touch zigzag line on periodic table?
metaloids
Do the elements go from metals to nonmetal in the periodic table going from left to right?
Yes they do, with metaloids in between.
Where are metaloids found on the periodic table?
Metalloids are found along the diagonal line between metals and non-metals on the periodic table, starting from boron (B) to polonium (Po). They exhibit properties of both metals and non-metals, making them useful in various applications such as semiconductors.
How does the number of elements that are metals compare with the number of elements that are non metals?
because of the massive amounts of metals and the not-so-effecient matter of small metaloids, certainley metals are the most high numbered, concluding that the metaloids are the least in numbers. You can figure this out by looking at the table in your 7th grade Chemical Bonding Book.
