Metalloid
Explanation:
If an element is lustrous, brittle and a semi-conductor, it is best classified as a metalloid.
Metalloids shares attributes of metals and non-metals.
- They are often described as semi-metals as they do not share the full properties that makes a metal a metal.
- Metalloids are lustrous but not malleable like metals.
- They do not conduct electricity but they do so on certain conditions.
- Examples are silicon, germanium, boron, arsenic e.t.c
- They are usually found in the middle of the periodic table.
- They are not readily alloyed with metals.

Answer:
Protons and neutrons which packed tightly into central core of the atom.
Explanation:
Atoms are composed of three subatomic particle; electron, proton and neutron. Electrons are negatively charged, protons are positively charged whereas neutrons are neutral, hence does not have any charge.
Out of three, protons and neutrons are present in the nucleus of the atom.
Nucleus is the central part of the atom possessing most of the mass of the atom. In the nucleus, protons and neutrons are tightly packed with the help of nuclear force.
Electrons are present around the nucleus also called electron cloud.
Therefore, nucleus are composed of protons and neutrons which packed tightly into central core of the atom
Answer:
The sum of the protons and neutrons.
Explanation:
protons + neutrons = atomic mass
