What are the three properties of metalloids?

Physical properties of metalloids are as follows: ▪️Metalloids have a solid state of matter. ▪️In general, metalloids have a metallic luster. Metalloids have low elasticity, they are very brittle. ▪️Middleweights are semi-conducted elements, and they allow leave the average transmission of heat.

Is metalloid shiny or dull?

Metalloids can be found clustered around the dark zig-zag line that separates metals and nonmetals. Metalloids have properties of both metals and nonmetals. Metalloids are solids that can be shiny or dull. They conduct electricity and heat better than nonmetals but not as well as metals.

Is boron shiny or dull?

Boron is allotropic and exists as a powder or a metal-like substance. Its color ranges from a dark brown to black powder or a jet-black to silver-gray metal-like element. Its crystalline form is very hard, lustrous, but brittle.

Is carbon shiny or dull?

Elemental carbon is a black, dull-looking solid that conducts heat and electricity well. It is very brittle and cannot be made into thin sheets or long wires.

What is the black stuff on magnesium ribbon?

Magnesium. Strips of the reactive metallic element magnesium (Mg). The strip at left is tarnished and appears darker. This is due to the formation of magnesium oxide (MgO) on its surface as the metal reacts with the oxygen and water in the air.

What is the chemical equation of magnesium and oxygen?

Example

Step	Result
1	magnesium + oxygen → magnesium oxide
2	Mg + O 2 → MgO
3	reactants: 1 × Mg, 2 × O products: 1 × Mg, 1 × O Not balanced.
4	Mg + O 2 → 2MgO
