Question

The electronics you use every day would not be possible without metalloids. Which statements are true about metalloids? choose three statements that apply.A. They are somewhat reactive B. They are soft, solid, and malleableC. They can be used to make a semiconductorD. They have some properties of metals and some of nonmetals

Answer 1

`A,\text{ C , D}`

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to select 3 statements that are true about metalloids

Metalloids are the middle ground between metals and non-metals

They are not completely metals and also are not completely non-metals. They are in between the two kinds of elements

The correct choice of answers are the following:

a) They are somewhat reactive

b) This is incorrect because they are usually not malleable. An example is silicon

c) This is correct. They are popular for making semi-conductors

d) This is also correct. They are the bridge between metallic and non-metallic elements
