Metalloids are the solid elements between metals and non-metals. They also have properties of metals and non-metals. **Chemical Properties of Metalloids**
 * Physical properties of Metalloids**:
 * Solids
 * Can be shiny or dull[[image:images-5.jpeg width="165" height="124" align="right" caption="Silicon (Si)"]]
 * Ductile
 * Malleable
 * Conduct heat and electricity better than nonmetals but not as well as metal


 * USES**
 * electronic components
 * semiconductor[[image:germanium.jpg width="176" height="150" align="right" caption="Germanium (Ge)"]]
 * microchips
 * cleaning materials

3 **INTERESTING FACTS**
 * 1) 27.7% of the Earth's surface is the metalloid Silicon (Si).
 * 2) The metalloid Germanium (Ge) is found in Amplifires
 * 3) The meatlloid Arsenic (As) is a poison
