Metalloids are all solid at room temperature<span>. Some metalloids, such as silicon and germanium, can act as </span>electrical<span> conductors under the right conditions, thus they are called semiconductors. Silicon, for example, appears lustrous but is not malleable or </span>ductile<span> (it is brittle - a characteristic of some nonmetals).
If this helped, please give me brainliest :)</span>
