For metalloids on the periodic table, how do the group number and the period number relate?
a. the lower the group number, the lower the period numbers, so the metalloids are found in a diagonal moving down from left to right.
b. the lower the group number, the higher the period numbers, so the metalloids are found in a diagonal moving up from left to right.
c. the higher the group number, the lower the period numbers, so the metalloids are found in a diagonal moving down from left to right.
d. the higher the group number, the higher the period numbers, so the metalloids are found in a diagonal moving up from left to right.

Answer : The correct option is A.

Explanation :

Metalloid : Metaloids are the elements whose properties lie between the metals and non-metals.

There are six commonly elements which are boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony and tellurium. The rare elements are polonium and astatine.

The relation between the group number and period number of metalloid is that the lower the group number, the lower the period numbers and the metalloids are found in a diagonal moving down from left to right in the periodic table.

(A) The lower the group number, the lower the period numbers, so the metalloids are found in a diagonal moving down from left to right.
