Materials that have both metallic and non-metallic characteristics are called:
- A
Semiconductor
- B
Metal
- C
Non-metal
- D
Organic compound
Semiconductors are materials which have a conductivity between conductors (generally metals) and nonconductors or insulators (such as most ceramics). Semiconductors can be pure elements, such as silicon or germanium, or compounds such as gallium arsenide or cadmium selenide.
