Engineer by profession/education, but semiconductor fundamentals is a huge gap in my education (long story). I bought a textbook and have been following a lecture series on youtube... but don't have anyone to ask my questions to.

Thanks! :)

As others have said, it's not a metalloid, as the metalloid region is a diagonal line.
