Definition: one of a class of elements having properties intermediate to metals and nonmetals.

Metalloids

Explanation:

Metalloids are compounds whose properties are intermediate between those of metals and non metals. That is, they do not behave as pure metals, neither do they behave as pure nonmetals. For instance, the electrical conductivity of metals decreases with temperature while nonmetals do not conduct electricity at all under any condition. However, metalloids conductivity increases with increase in temperature because they conduct electricity in a manner slightly different from the manner in which metals conduct electricity.

explanation:

a

rosa was looking for patterns to predict the products of chemical reactions. she recorded three similar decomposition reactions in the table.she should record 2licl + 3o2.

in the last row of the table. it is the thermal decomposition of chlorate lithium, hence, she should record these products as: lithium chloride ( 2licl ) and oxygen ( 3o2 )   2 > 2 licl + 3o2.
