In the preceding paper new shock-wave results were reported on liquid hydrogen and deuterium up to a pressure of 76 GPa (760 kbar). In the present paper an effective pair potential is determined from these results and used in calculations of fluid and solid isotherms, melting curves, and the metallic transition pressure. The agreement with available data is good and the metallic transition is predicted to be near 300 GPa (3 Mbar).
