silicon is it a metal

Silicon is not a metal, though it shares many of the properties of metals. It is called a metalloid. This makes it have many characteristics of metals AND nonmetals. Silicon is a shiny, gray element that conducts electricity like a metal, but also nonmetallic in many ways, such as being brittle.

A non-metal elemen

As also previously indicated, silicon is not a metal. It is a non-metal element, as it lacks many of the typical characteristics of a metal. Non-metals are dull, can’t be beaten into sheets and are poor conductors of electricity. Silicon belongs here because it does not display all of the characteristics of a metal.
