Abstract
We examine the densityβdependent metalβnonmetal transition (MNMT) for the Group 1 elements hydrogen, rubidium and caesium. Remarkably, the experimentally observed metallization densities agree closely with those predicted from the 1927 classical theory of K. F. Herzfeld, which outlines the critical conditions necessary for the metallization of any element of the periodic system. The metallization densities of the alkali metal elements are also consistent with the quantum mechanical theory of the MNMT, as first set out by Sir Nevill Mott.
