wrong - a liquid is not a solid
thats grade 3 science, i guess you never got beyond grade 2 where you learned how to spell grabbity

Liquid is as much as solid as any other matter in the universe.
Elements are elements. No matter what size or composition they take.
Hydrogen is as much a solid as titanium.

Claimed observation of solid metallic hydrogen, 2016
On October 5, 2016, Ranga Dias and Isaac F. Silvera of Harvard University released claims of experimental evidence that solid metallic hydrogen had been synthesised in the laboratory. This manuscript was available in October 2016,[31] and a revised version was subsequently published in the journal Science in January 2017.[4][5]
In the preprint version of the paper, Dias and Silvera write:
With increasing pressure we observe changes in the sample, going from transparent, to black, to a reflective metal, the latter studied at a pressure of 495 GPa... the reflectance using a Drude free electron model to determine the plasma frequency of 30.1 eV at T = 5.5 K, with a corresponding electron carrier density of 6.7×1023 particles/cm3, consistent with theoretical estimates. The properties are those of a metal. Solid metallic hydrogen has been produced in the laboratory.
— Dias & Silvera (2016) [31]
Silvera stated that they did not repeat their experiment, since more tests could damage or destroy their existing sample, but assured the scientific community that more tests are coming.[32][6] He also stated that the pressure would eventually be released, in order to find out whether the sample was metastable (i.e., whether it would persist in its metallic state even after the pressure was released).[33]
Shortly after the claim was published in Science, Nature's news division published an article stating that some other physicists regarded the result with skepticism. Recently, prominent members of the high pressure research community have criticised the claimed results,[34][35][36] questioning the claimed pressures or the presence of metallic hydrogen at the pressures claimed.
In February 2017, it was reported that the sample of claimed metallic hydrogen was lost, after the diamond anvils it was contained between broke.[37]
In August 2017, Silvera and Dias issued an erratum[38] to the Science article, regarding corrected reflectance values due to variations between the optical density of stressed natural diamonds and the synthetic diamonds used in their pre-compression diamond anvil cell.

And a gas is not a liquid, I see you are learning. (It's like the only way you can learn is to have people trick you into learning)
