Metallization pressure is the pressure required for a non-metallic chemical element to become a metal . Every material is predicted to turn into a metal if the pressure is high enough, and temperature low enough. Some of these pressures are beyond the reach of diamond anvil cells , and are thus theoretical predictions. Neon has the highest metallization pressure for any element.
The value for phosphorus refers to pressurizing black phosphorus . The value for arsenic refers to pressurizing metastable black arsenic ; grey arsenic, the standard state, is already a metallic conductor at standard conditions. No value is known or theoretically predicted for radon. Astatine is calculated to already be a metal at standard conditions,[ 1] although its extreme radioactivity means that this has never been tested experimentally.
