Best Answer

Metalloids were first identified as a group of elements with properties between metals and non-metals in the mid-19th century by chemist Baron Ernst von Reichenbach. However, the concept of metalloids as a distinct group of elements was further developed in the early 20th century by chemist William Crookes.
