Commonly recognized (86–99%): B, Si, Ge, As, Sb, Te Irregularly recognized (40–49%): Po, At Less commonly recognized (24%): Se Rarely recognized (5–10%): C, Al, P, Bi (All other elements cited in less than 4% of sources) Arbitrary metal-nonmetal dividing line: between Be and B, Al and Si, Ge and As, Sb and Te, Po and At
Recognition status, as metalloids, of some elements in the p-block of the periodic table. Percentages are median appearance frequencies in the lists of metalloids.^{[n 1]} The staircase-shaped line is a typical example of the arbitrary metal–nonmetal dividing line found on some periodic tables.
