A metalloid is an element with properties between metals and non metals or the mix of both.

The six metalloids are arsenic, silicon, germanium, boron, antimony and tellurium.

Hence, silicon is the only metalloid in the given list.

Normality is a way of expressing concentration of a solution and can be calculated by the formula-

Normality (N) = No. of gram equivalent of solute/ volume of solution (in litre)

Gram equivalent weight of H2 SO4 = Molecular weight/ No. of Hydrogen atom = 98/2 = 49 gm

No. of gram equivalent in 49 gm of H2 SO4 = 1

So, Normality in 1 litre of solution = 1/1 = 1 N
