6. In general, since the energy gap between the highest occupied molecular orbital and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital of a light molecule is larger than those for isoclectronic heavier molecules, the band gap for the corresponding light molecular crystal is larger than those for the corresponding isoelectronic heavier molecular crystals. The metallization pressure for the light molecular crystal is thus expected to be larger than those for the heavier molecular crystals. Accordingly, the metallization pressure for solid fluorine is thereby expected to be over 200 GPa because even the metallization pressure expected for solid chlorine, a heavier one, is already ∼160 GPa.
