Traditionally they include boron from group 3A, silicon and germanium in group 4A, aresnic and antimony in group 5A and tellurium from group 6A, although sometimes selenium, astatine, polonium and even bismuth have also been considered as metalloids. Typically metalloids are brittle and show a semi-metallic luster.
The six commonly recognised metalloids are boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, and tellurium. Five elements are less frequently so classified: carbon, aluminium, selenium, polonium, and astatine.
The difference in an area with high concentration and an area with low concentration is called the concentration gradient.
<h3>
What is Concentration Gradient ?</h3>
A concentration gradient occurs when the concentration of particles is higher in one area than another.
In passive transport, particles will diffuse down a concentration gradient, from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration, until they are evenly spaced.
This difference in an area with high concentration and an area with low concentration is called the concentration gradient.
