a very thin amount of vaporized metal
The atmospheric pressure is negligible.
mercury
That depends on when you consider a planet to be "really small." Mars is much smaller than Earth, but it still retains an atmosphere. Mercury, the smallest planet in the solar system, does not have an atmosphere, but it is also very close to the sun, which would tend to drive away atmospheric gasses.
Mercury's weak gravity and close proximity to the hot sun make it easy for gasses to escape.
Mercury has no atmosphere, however, there is a trace exosphere containing hydrogen, helium, and oxygen, that gets dynamically created and destroyed.
Because the gravitational pull of the planet isn't strong enough to hold any gasses.
Yes, mercury can exist as a gas. It will turn to gas at approximately 674ºF (357ºC) and atmospheric pressure.
That would be Venus.
By volume, they are:Oxygen (42%), Sodium (29%),Hydrogen (22%),Helium (6%),rest (traces).
To liquify atmospheric gasses, industry compresses and cools air.
If the atmospheric pressure is 29.4 inches of mercury the corresponding inches of mercury is: 880.
Mercury's close proximity to the sun has caused it to lose any real atmosphere or gasses it may have had long ago. It's all rock.
