Hey what types of solids will O2, N2, Cl2, F2 form? I know I2 is molecular, but are those 4 also?

I also know H2 is metallic

Yes they are.

I also know H2 is metallic

Huh? H₂ is not a metal, it is also molecular.

To help your understanding, why is I₂ molecular? What property does the I₂ molecule have in common with the other ones you have listed?

Please, do not mix metallic properties with state of matter.
