  2. Lists of metalloids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_metalloids

    This is a list of 194 sources that list elements classified as metalloids. The sources are listed in chronological order. Lists of metalloids differ since there is no rigorous widely accepted definition of metalloid (or its occasional alias, 'semi-metal'). Individual lists share common ground, with variations occurring at the margins.

  3. Metalloid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metalloid

    Metalloids are too brittle to have any structural uses in their pure forms. [105] They and their compounds are used in alloys, biological agents (toxicological, nutritional, and medicinal), catalysts, flame retardants, glasses (oxide and metallic), optical storage media and optoelectronics, pyrotechnics, semiconductors, and electronics.

  4. Names for sets of chemical elements - Wikipedia

    These sets usually do not aim to cover the whole periodic table (as for example period does), and often overlap or have boundaries that differ between authors. Some examples: Metals and nonmetals; Metalloids – Variously-defined group of elements with properties intermediate between metals and nonmetals. In alphabetic order:

  5. Properties of metals, metalloids and nonmetals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_metals...

    In 2004, a boron compound broke this record by a thousand fold with the synthesis of carborane acid H(CHB 11 Cl 11). Another metalloid, antimony, features in the strongest known acid, a mixture 10 billion times stronger than carborane acid. This is fluoroantimonic acid H 2 F[SbF 6], a mixture of antimony pentafluoride SbF 5 and hydrofluoric ...

    118 chemical elements have been identified and named officially by IUPAC.A chemical element, often simply called an element, is a type of atom which has a specific number of protons in its atomic nucleus (i.e., a specific atomic number, or Z).

  8. Properties of nonmetals (and metalloids) by group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_nonmetals...

    Nonmetals show more variability in their properties than do metals. [1] Metalloids are included here since they behave predominately as chemically weak nonmetals.. Physically, they nearly all exist as diatomic or monatomic gases, or polyatomic solids having more substantial (open-packed) forms and relatively small atomic radii, unlike metals, which are nearly all solid and close-packed, and ...
