Understand the classification of elements in the periodic table: metals, nonmetals, and metalloids.
Recall that metals typically have properties like high electrical conductivity, malleability, and luster, while nonmetals tend to be poor conductors and more brittle.
Identify that metalloids have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals, meaning they can exhibit characteristics of both groups depending on the conditions.
Recognize that halogens and noble gases are types of nonmetals, and alkali metals are a group of metals, so they do not have intermediate properties.
Conclude that the elements with intermediate properties between metals and nonmetals are called metalloids.
