1. They rarely have metallic luster.

2. They are usually gases at room temperature.

3. Nonmetallic solids are neither malleable nor ductile.

4. They are poor conductors of heat and electricity

No, metalloids have properties of metals and nonmetals.


How are semi metals related to metals and non metals?

They have properties of metals and non-metals, and also have properties that are around '1/2' of both. An example is silicon, which has a high melting point and is solid (metallic properties). However it is very brittle and it forms an acidic oxide (non-metal). It is a semi-conductor.

Classes of elements?

Elements are classified into metals, metalloids, and nonmetals based on their physical and chemical properties. Metals are typically shiny, conduct heat and electricity well, and are malleable. Metalloids have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals. Nonmetals are usually dull in appearance and poor conductors of heat and electricity.


What is classification for the elements that have properties of both metals and non metals?

Elements that have properties of both metals and nonmetals are classified as metalloids. Metalloids have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals, such as being able to conduct electricity but not as effectively as metals. Examples of metalloids include silicon and arsenic.


What are the different categories are the elements put into?

Elements are categorized into metals, non-metals, and metalloids based on their properties such as conductivity, appearance, and reactivity. Metals are typically shiny, malleable, and good conductors of heat and electricity. Non-metals are often dull in appearance, brittle, and poor conductors. Metalloids share properties of both metals and non-metals.
