Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that the periodic table is divided into metals, nonmetals, and metalloids based on their properties.
Recall that metalloids have properties intermediate between metals and nonmetals, so they are located between these two groups.
Identify the 'staircase-shaped' boundary line on the periodic table, which separates metals on the left from nonmetals on the right.
Recognize that metalloids are found along this staircase-shaped boundary, acting as a dividing line between metals and nonmetals.
Confirm that metalloids are not located in the transition metals block, far left column, or noble gases group, but specifically along the staircase boundary.
