Lists of metalloids the literature can also be found to the categorisation of other elements as metalloids. These elements include: hydrogen, nitrogen, sulfur, zinc, gallium, iodine, lead, and radon (citations are for references other than those listed above). Lists of metalloids This is a list of sources that each list metalloids: elements classified as metalloids. The sources are listed in chronological order. Lists of metalloids differ since there is no rigorous definition of metalloid (or its occasional alias, 'semi-metal'). Individual lists share common ground, with variations occurring at the margins. The elements most often regarded as metalloids are boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony
Binary compounds of silicon practical applications), formed by annealing an amorphous Si-P alloy. The arsenic–silicon phase diagram measured at 40 Bar has two phases: SiAs and SiAs. The antimony–silicon system comprises a single eutectic close to the melting point of Sb. The bismuth system is a monotectic. In group 16 silicon dioxide is a very common compound that widely occurs as sand or quartz. SiO is tetrahedral with each silicon atom surrounded by 4 oxygen atoms. Numerous crystalline forms exist with the tetrahedra linked to form a polymeric chain. Examples are tridymite and cristobalite. A less common oxide is silicon monoxide that can be
