Definition von metalloid im Englisch Englisch wörterbuch
an element, such as silicon or germanium, intermediate in properties between that of a metal and a nonmetal; especially one that exhibits the external characteristics of a metal, but behaves chemically more as a nonmetal
Now, one of several elementary substances which in the free state are unlike metals, and whose compounds possess or produce acid, rather than basic, properties; a nonmetal; as, boron, carbon, phosphorus, nitrogen, oxygen, sulphur, chlorine, bromine, etc
of or being a nonmetallic element that has some of the properties of metal; "arsenic is a metalloid element"
elements such as arsenic and selenium, which have both metallic and non-metallic properties
{s} of metalloid (element which is both metallic and non-metallic); resembling both a metal and a nonmetal
(a) Element intermediate in luster and conductivity between the true metals and non-metals Arsenic, antimony, boron, tellurium, and selenium, etc , are generally considered metalloids; frequently one allotropic modification of an element will be non-metallic, another metalloid in character Obviously, no hard and fast line can be drawn (b) In steel metallurgy, metalloid in has a specialized, even of erroneous, meaning; is covers elements commonly present in simple steel; carbon, manganese, phosphorus, silicon and sulfur Melting Point The temperature at which a pure metal, compound or eutectic changes form solid to liquid; the temperature at which the liquid and the solid are in equilibrium Melting Range The range of temperature in which an alloy melt; that is the range between solidus and liquidus temperatures
an element which has the capacity to act as either a metal or a nonmetal, depending on the chemical circumstances
1) An element intermediate between metals and nonmetals possessing both metallic and nonmetallic properties, as arsenic, 2) sometimes applied to elements commonly bonded in small amounts in steel, as carbon, manganese, boron, silicon, sulfur, and phosphorus
