<P> The six commonly recognised metalloids are boron , silicon , germanium , arsenic , antimony , and tellurium . Five elements are less frequently so classified : carbon , aluminium , selenium , polonium , and astatine . On a standard periodic table , all eleven are in a diagonal area in the p - block extending from boron at the upper left to astatine at lower right , along the dividing line between metals and nonmetals shown on some periodic tables . </P>
