Metalloids have properties of both metals and non-metals. Some of the metalloids, such as silicon and germanium, are useful in semi-conductors. This property makes metalloids useful in electronic components. Some allotropes of elements show more pronounced metal, metalloid or non-metal behavior than others.

Hope this helps! ;)

Why does LiCl does not exhibit frenkel defect?
tino4ka555 [31]
Frenkel defect is a defect in crystalline solids in which an atom is displaced from its lattice position to an interstitial space. This creates a vacant space at the original site and an  interstitial defect at the new site within the same element. This defect does not affect the chemical properties of the compound. This defect usually occur in ionic solids with large size difference between the anion and cation.
LiCl does not exhibit Frenkel defect because the size difference between the anion and the cation of the compound is very small.
