File:Nonmetals at 3 million atmospheres.png
A possible form of periodic table at a pressure of three million atmospheres (300 GPa). It is possible that all the elements become metallic at sufficiently high pressure. The elements He, C, N, F, Ne, Ar, Kr (in grey) have not yet been investigated at sufficiently high pressures to achieve metallisation.[1]

Metallic allotropes[edit]

Among the nonmetals, many possess metallic allotropes under high pressure, while some metals may exist in nonmetallic allotropes:

Element Period Group Classification Allotropes
Hydrogen 1 1 diatomic nonmetal Metallic hydrogen forms at 260–270 GPa at 295 K and converts back to molecular hydrogen at 200 GPa.[2]
Helium 1 18 noble gas Metallic helium is predicted to occur around 100 Mbar (10 TPa) at low temperatures and 40 Mbar (4 TPa) at high temperatures.[3]
Boron 2 13 metalloid Common allotropes of boron have bandgaps of approximately 2 eV, but a high-pressure superconducting phase occurs at 160 GPa and 250 GPa at 4 and 11 K.[4][5]
Carbon 2 14 polyatomic nonmetal A metallic allotrope of carbon has been hypothesized to occur at 1.1 TPa.[6][7][8]
Nitrogen 2 15 diatomic nonmetal There has been some theoretical consideration of a high-pressure metallic allotrope.[9] Despite a calculated transition at 100 GPa, experiments up to 180 GPa failed to detect this.[6]
Oxygen 2 16 diatomic nonmetal Metallic oxygen has been observed at pressures over 96 GPa, and is superconducting at low temperatures.[10][11][12][13]
Fluorine 2 17 diatomic nonmetal The metallization pressure of solid fluorine is expected to exceed 200 GPa.[14]
Neon 2 18 noble gas First-principle calculations estimate that the band gap of neon might close at 142 TPa and metallization may occur at 176 TPa.[15]
Aluminium 3 13 poor metal The structure of clusters of aluminium atoms sandwiched among other elements can be extended to hypothesize a nonmetallic "β-aluminium" allotrope; it is not known whether it can physically exist.[16]
Silicon 3 14 metalloid Under increasing pressure silicon transforms from a cubic diamond structure to a β-tin (11–12 GPa), primitive hexagonal (13–16 GPa), hexagonal-close-packed (37–40 GPa), and face-centered cubic phases (78 GPa). Three of these phases are metallic.[17][18]
Phosphorus 3 15 polyatomic nonmetal Two allotropes of phosphorus at atmospheric pressure have sometimes been called metallic – "α-metallic" (violet or Hittorf's phosphorus) and "β-metallic" or black phosphorus. Violet and black phosphorus have bandgaps of 1.5 and 0.34 eV, respectively.[19][20] Black phosphorus metallizes at 1.7 GPa by bandgap closure without a structural transition.[6]
Sulfur 3 16 polyatomic nonmetal Sulfur undergoes transitions to two superconducting metal phases, at roughly 90 GPa and 200 GPa; the first of these has an incommensurate crystal structure.[21]
Chlorine 3 17 diatomic nonmetals Chlorine was estimated to undergo transition to a metal at 67 GPa; this was confirmed, but at higher pressures.[6]
Argon 3 18 noble gas As of 2009, metallization of argon, predicted to occur at very high pressures, has not been observed.[22]
Gallium 4 13 poor metal The orthorhombic α-phase of gallium includes a short covalent bond between two of eight atoms of the unit cell, and has a "deep minimum in the electronic density of states at the Fermi energy"; thus it can be called a "metallic molecular crystal" or an "inorganic polymer". These properties are absent in the metallic Ga-II and β-Ga states.[23]
Germanium 4 14 metalloid Germanium undergoes a semiconductor-to-metal transition at 11 GPa.[6]
Arsenic 4 15 metalloid
Selenium 4 16 polyatomic nonmetal Selenium undergoes a semiconductor-to-metal transition at 20 GPa.[6]
Bromine 4 17 diatomic nonmetals Bromine undergoes a semiconductor-to-metal transition at 100 GPa.[6]
Krypton 4 18 noble gas Metallization of krypton was predicted to occur at 316 GPa.[24]
Indium 5 13 poor metal
Tin 5 14 poor metal Of the two common allotropes of tin at room temperature and pressure, white tin (β-tin) is metallic, but gray tin (α-tin) is not. Gray tin is more stable at colder temperatures.
Antimony 5 15 metalloid
Tellurium 5 16 metalloid Tellurium undergoes a semiconductor-to-metal transition at 4 GPa.[6]
Iodine 5 17 diatomic nonmetals Iodine undergoes a semiconductor-to-metal transition at 17 GPa.[6]
Xenon 5 18 noble gas Xenon undergoes a semiconductor-to-metal transition at 160 GPa.[6]
Thallium 6 13 poor metal
Lead 6 14 poor metal
Bismuth 6 15 poor metal
Polonium 6 16 poor metal
Astatine 6 17 metalloid
Radon 6 18 noble gas
