Metalloids are all solid at room temperature. Some metalloids, such as silicon and germanium, can act as electrical conductors under the right conditions, thus they are called semi-conductors. Silicon for example appears lustrous, but is not malleable or ductile (it is brittle - a characteristic of some nonmetals).

<span>Germanium
To determine which melts first, convert their melting temperatures so they're both expressed on same scale. It doesn't matter what scale you use, Kelvin, Celsius, of Fahrenheit. Just as long as it's the same scale for everything. Since we already have one substance expressed in Kelvin and since it's easy to convert from Celsius to Kelvin, I'll use Kelvin. So convert the melting point from Celsius to Kelvin for Gold by adding 273.15
1064 + 273.15 = 1337.15 K
So Germanium melts at 1210K and Gold melts at 1337.15K. Germanium has the lower melting point, so it melts first.</span>
