Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. We are looking for a compound that contains a metalloid. . Metalloids are elements that have properties of both metals and non-metals. The most commonly recognized metalloids are Boron (B), Silicon (Si), Germanium (Ge), Arsenic (As), Antimony (b), Tellurium (Te), and Polonium (Po).

STEP 2

We need to identify the elements present in each compound and determine if any of them are metalloids.

STEP 3

For compound A, $\mathrm{Si}_{}$ , the elements present are Silicon (Si) and Fluorine ().

STEP 4

Looking at our list of metalloids, we can see that Silicon (Si) is a metalloid.

STEP 5

Therefore, compound A, $\mathrm{Si}_{4}$ , contains a metalloid.
The compound that contains a metalloid is $\mathrm{Si}_{4}$ .
