It's theorized that the deep interiors of gas giant planets like Jupiter may be mainly liquid metallic hydrogen.

Does earth have liquid metallic hydrogen?

No. Liquid metallic hydrogen only forms when hydrogen is subjected to extreme pressure. Hydrogen is present in trace amounts in Earth's atmosphere in gas form, under low pressure. The core is composed primarily of iron. Liquid metallic hydrogen likely exists in the gas giants Jupiter and Saturn.


Which planet has flowing liquid metallic hydrogen as the source of its magnetic field?

Saturn


Which jovian planets contain metallic hydrogen?

It is believed that both Jupiter and Saturn contain metallic hydrogen in their interiors due to the extreme pressure and temperature conditions. Uranus and Neptune are not thought to have metallic hydrogen in their interiors.


What is the internal layering of Jupiter from the center outward?

Jupiter has a core made of rock and metal at its center, surrounded by a layer of metallic hydrogen. Above this is a layer of liquid metallic hydrogen, followed by a layer of molecular hydrogen. The outermost layer consists of clouds of ammonia and water vapor.


Which planet likely has flowing liquid metallic hydrogen as the source of its magnetic field?

Jupiter is the planet that likely has flowing liquid metallic hydrogen in its interior, creating a magnetic field that is the strongest in the solar system. This metallic hydrogen is thought to exist under tremendous pressure in Jupiter's core, generated by the planet's immense mass.

What is liquid metallic hydrogen?

Liquid metallic hydrogen is a phase of hydrogen that occurs under extremely high pressures, typically above 400 GPa (gigapascals). In this state, hydrogen exhibits metallic properties, such as electrical conductivity, due to the dissociation of hydrogen molecules into individual atoms that can move freely. This phase is of significant interest in astrophysics, particularly in understanding the interiors of gas giant planets like Jupiter, where such conditions are thought to exist. Additionally, it has potential applications in advanced propulsion systems and superconductors.


Can you make the hydrogen a metal?

Yes. Although hydrogen is a non-metal, there is metallic hydrogen. It is formed when hydrogen is sufficiently compressed and undergoes a phase change; it is an example of degenerate matter. Solid metallic hydrogen consists of a crystal lattice of protons with a spacing which is significantly smaller than a Bohr radius. Indeed, the spacing is more comparable with an electron wavelength. The electrons are unbound and behave like the conduction electrons in a metal. As is the dihydrogen molecule H2, metallic hydrogen is an allotrope. In liquid metallic hydrogen, protons do not have lattice ordering.


Is metallic hydrogen the same as hydrogen?

Metallic hydrogen is a physical state that hydrogen enters under extreme pressure.
