Electrons you use every day would not be possible without metalloids Which statements are true about metalloids choose the three statements that apply. Plz help

1. They are somewhat reactive
2. They are soft, solid, and malleable
3. They can be used to make semiconductor
4. They have some properties of metals and some of nonmetals

the electronic configuration of an atom with eight electrons is 1s²2s²2p⁴. the orbital diagrams are shown in the figure.

as per the hunds rule:

1. electrons tend to avoid being in the same orbital as per as practicable.

2. electrons in different orbitals of the same energy will have their spin parallel.

this can be illustrated from the multiplicity of the orbitals of the atom. as there are four electrons in the p orbital and p orbital has 3 sub-shells. the electrons can be fed in different ways as shown in the figure but the correct orbital diagram will be as per the hunds rule.

they are made of gases.

they have a spherical shape.

they make energy through fusion.
