Which property do metalloids share with nonmetals

Explained below

Explanation:

Metalloids are elements that possess properties between that of metals and non - metals or that have properties that a re a combination of those of metals and non - metals. Whereas a metal is one that conducts electricity and heat very well.

Now, the property they both share is that they both possess valence orbitals which are highly de-localized over macroscopic volumes, thereby allowing both of them to be conductors of electricity although it has to be said that Metalloids don't conduct electricity as much as metals.

metals are good conductor of electricity. it has free electrons on their surface. according to electron pool theory, each atom present in a metal crystal losses all of its valence electron and as a result a pool of free is form. these pool of electrons are free to move and   conduct electricity easily   while making metal as good conductor.

the correct answer is a. the ability of electrons to flow throughout the metal.
