Answer 1

Metalloids exhibit properties of both metals and nonmetals.

Explanation:

• Though there is no standard definition yet to exactly define what metalloids are, it has been found through various scientific studies that the metalloids have properties of both the metals and the nonmetals pooled in them.
• That being the reason, most metalloids are used to serve the need of material where both flexibility and rigidity is required to specified extents.
• Arsenic, Astatine, Tellurium, etc., are some examples of metalloids.
