    Question

    Which of the following is a physical characteristic of a metalloid?

    1. Texture
    2. Malleable
    3. Brittle
    4. Semiconductor

    Hint:

    Metalloids have conductivity in between conductors and insulators.

    The correct answer is: Semiconductor

      • Metalloids are substances that has property of both metals and non metals.
      • Metals are good conductors.
      • Non metals are insulators.
      • Metalloids are hence semiconductors.
