    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.
