Answer:

The properties metalloids shares with metals are as follows ;

Metalloids like germanium and silicon conduct electricity under special condition .

Metalloids can form alloys just like metals.

Metalloids like germanium, arsenic and antimony are lustrous metallic looking solid.

Step-by-step explanation:

Metalloids are intermediate elements between metals and non metals. This element sometimes act like metal and other time act like non metals. Metals are good conductor of heat and electricity, lustrous, malleable, ductile and form cations by donating electron(s) while non metal do not conduct heat or electricity and are mostly anions. Metalloids have characteristics of both non metals and metals.
