No. The majority of elements are metals, but there is a section towards the right-hand side of the Periodic Table where non-metals are located (elements such as chlorine, xenon, and carbon are non-metals)

At room temperature, no. Carbon is both a solid and a non-metal, as is Sulfur, Phosphorus, Selenium, Iodine, and Astatine.

All the semi-metals (Boron, Silicon, Germanium, Arsenic, Antimony, Tellurium, and Polonium) are solid at room temperature as well.

No, not all solid elements are metal. They can either be made of metal or they can be a non-metal.
