Which elements are semiconductors? Identify the elements that behave as semiconductors by dragging them into the container. At Po Bi Pb I Te Sn S Se B C N Al Si P Ga Ge As Sb
Collect and Organize
We are asked to identify elements that behave as semiconductors. Review your knowledge of the periodic table to answer this question.
Analyze
We know the elements on the left of the periodic table are metals and elements on the right are nonmetals. If we remember correctly, we know there is a group of elements that are called metalloids. If these elements are highlighted in the periodic table, they form a staircase that separates the metals from the nonmetals. So where is that staircase located?
NOTE:
(Se, B, Al, Si, P, Ga, Ge, As and Sb) is not the correct answer.
