Question

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

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

hintHint:

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.
