What type of properties do metalloids show?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Both metal-like and non-metal-like

The governing concept is the intermediate nature of metalloids. Metalloids are elements whose properties lie between those of metals and non-metals, so option C is correct. Depending on the element and the property being considered, they may show metallic appearance or limited conductivity while also displaying non-metal-like chemical behavior. Silicon and germanium, for example, are important semiconductors because their electrical conductivity is neither as high as that of metals nor as low as that of insulators. Option A and option B are too absolute, while option D confuses a physical state with a chemical classification. Thus both kinds of properties are possible.
