This property makes metalloids useful in computers and calculators The Metalloids are: Boron Silicon Germanium Arsenic Antimony Tellurium Polonium This website is copyright Â© 1996-2012 Yinon Bentor. Metalloids are the elements found along the stair-step line that distinguishes metals from non-metals.This line is drawn from between Boron and Aluminum to the border between Polonium and Astatine. The only exception to this is Aluminum, which is classified under Other Metals.Metalloids have properties of both metals and non-metals. Some of the metalloids, such as silicon and germanium, are semi-conductors.his line is drawn from between Boron and Aluminum to the border between Polonium and Astatine.
