Is your question why 80% of distinct atoms when measured specifically by their number of protons in the universe are metallic? I can’t answer that but I would highlight that it’s an extremely arbitrary question. Almost all atomic matter in the universe has a single proton and once you get into the 10-25% of the universe that bizarrely has more than one proton per atom it’s estimated that 80% of what’s left only has two protons.

Nearly none of the universe is metallic.
Um yes, the first one.
I think they mean as opposed to 80% of the periodic table. Maybe.
🙄
They meant 80% of the periodic table, right? I don’t know the periodic table but that to me seems like the obvious thing they mean…
