Alloy

the dividing line between metals and nonmetals. Metalloids typically have a metallic appearance, but are very brittle and are poor electrical conductors. Because they are so brittle metalloids are not usually used for structural uses but can form alloys with other metals.

Metalloids and their compounds are also used in electronics, glasses, semiconductors, and pyrotechnics. Silicon…
