nonmetals are elements that do not exhibit metallic properties. Chemically, a typical nonmetal accepts electrons from a metal.


metalloids are elements that have both metallic and nonmetallic properties.

Metalloids contain characteristics from both metals and non-metals, non metals are not able to conduct electricity.
