Answer: Boron is the element which has properties of both metals and nonmetals.
Explanation:
Metals are defined as the elements which loose electrons to attain stable electronic configuration. They attain positive charge and form cation. Example: Zinc (Zn), Aluminium (Al) , copper (Cu)
Non-metals are defined as the elements which gain electrons to attain stable electronic configuration. They attain negative charge and form anion. Example: Chlorine (Cl) , Sulphur (S)
Metalloids are defined as the elements which show properties of both metals and non-metals. There are 7 metalloids in the periodic table. They are Boron (B) , Silicon (Si) , Germanium (Ge) , Arsenic (As) , Antimony (Sb), Tellurium (Te) and Polonium (Po).
Thus boron is the element which has properties of both metals and nonmetals.
