The elements that fall between metals and nonmetals are known as metalloids. These elements, such as silicon and germanium, exhibit properties of both metals and nonmetals. They typically have a metallic luster and are good semiconductors, making them valuable in electronic applications. Metalloids are found along the zigzag line on the Periodic Table, which separates metals from nonmetals.
