Metalloids
The metalloids; boron (B), silicon (Si), germanium (Ge), arsenic (As), antimony (Sb), tellurium (Te), polonium (Po) and astatine (At) are the elements found along the step like line between metals and non-metals of the periodic table. Metalloids have properties of both metals and non-metals. Some of the metalloids, such as silicon and germanium, are useful in semi-conductors. This property makes metalloids useful in electronic components.

Some allotropes of elements show more pronounced metal, metalloid or non-metal behaviour than others. The element carbon; its diamond allotrope is non-metallic, however the graphite allotrope is electrically conductive showing characteristic more like a metalloid. Phosphorus, tin, selenium and bismuth also have allotropes which display borderline behaviour.
