The prefix "semi-" means "partly". Based on your knowledge of the properties of elements, which kind of element is most likely used to make semiconductors?

liquids
metalloids
metals
nonmetals


Answer :

Answer:

metalloids

Explanation:

The kind of element most likely used to make semiconductors are the metalloids.

These elements have properties between those of metals and non-metals in that they are not truly metals and are partly non-metals.

  • Under certain conditions they show features of metals or non - metals.
  • The class of these elements are the metalloids.
  • They are used to make semiconductors which are major components of electronics.
