Question

which element is a metalloid?
li
h
ge
ne

Explanation:

To determine the metalloid, we analyze each element:

• Li (Lithium) is an alkali metal (metal).
• H (Hydrogen) is a non - metal (usually considered a non - metal, though it has some unique properties).
• Ge (Germanium) is a metalloid, as it has properties intermediate between metals and non - metals (e.g., it has some electrical conductivity like a metal but also some non - metallic properties).
• Ne (Neon) is a noble gas (non - metal).

Answer:

Ge
