How do metals differ from metalloids? Mention any two points. |
|
Answer» Metalloids have properties in between those of the metals and non-metals and are semiconductors (whereas metals are conductors and nonmetals are not conductors) and used extensively in circuitry (like computer chips). They are all solids at room temperature, not quite as malleable as metals but not quite as brittle as nonmetals. They can be shiny (have luster) or not whereas all metal are shiny. metals are hard and strong |
