yeah theyre cool
google definition: an element (e.g. arsenic, antimony, or [a/n NOT] tin) whose properties are intermediate between those of metals and solid or semiconductors.
and stuff
okay here are the metalloids:
-boron
-silicon
-germanium
-arsenic (BAD BAD BAD)
-antimony (like kinda bad...?)
-tellurium (eww wtf)
okay so the metalloids are very controversial cuz nobody can agree on what is or isnt a metalloid
there are some other ones that some people think should be in the metalloids, like:
-polonium (i do regard this as being in the metalloids)
-astatine (which RIGHTFULLY belongs in the halogens 😤)
and less commonly:
-selenium (huh 😵💫❓)
and even less commonly:
-aluminum/aluminium (okay but why?)
-carbon (WHAT THE F–THAT BELONGS IN THE NON-METALS(or like idk the CHNOPS idk wtf you call them idk) YOU STUPIDOS)
yeah i could go into detail abt them but idc
