Question

1. the elements in the middle of the table are called \______\ elements because they are changed from metallic properties to nonmetallic properties. (0.5 points) * enter your answer

Explanation:

In the periodic table, the elements in the middle that show a transition from metallic to non - metallic properties are called metalloids. Metalloids have properties that are intermediate between metals and non - metals. For example, silicon (Si) is a metalloid. It has some metallic properties like being a semiconductor (conducts electricity under certain conditions, similar to metals which are good conductors) and non - metallic properties like being a solid with a relatively low density compared to most metals.

Answer:

metalloids
