    Metalloids have properties of metals and non-metals.

    Explanation:

    A metalloid is a type of chemical element which has properties in between, or that are a mixture of, those of metals and nonmetals.

    The six commonly recognized metalloids are boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, and tellurium.

    Metalloids have a metallic appearance, but they are brittle (nonmetal property) and only fair conductors of electricity. Chemically, they behave mostly as nonmetals. They can form alloys with metal.

    Most of their other physical properties and chemical properties are intermediate in nature.

    That means Metalloids have properties of both metal and nonmetal.
