Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the color scheme. That will help you a lot.

The metals are Na Mg and Al. They are colored Blue.

The Non metals are colored yellow.

Seven of the eight entries are taken up by yellow or blue. There is only 1 element left over and that is Si. So it must the metalloid. It has properties of the both the metals and the non metals.
