A general rule doesn't exist.
In changes in which the molecular structure of a substance remains constant, such as changes of state, we often refer to these changes as Physical Changes. If the molecular structure is altered it would be a Chemical Change.
For an element, it would be an atom. For a molecular substance, it would be a molecule. If it is an ionic compound, it would be a formula unit.

If the volume of the substance in the gaseous state is 1000 times the volume of the substance in the liquid state, this means that 1 ml of the substance in the liquid state would occupy 0.001 ml when it evaporates into a gas.
That's a very good question and there are arguments for both. I would class it more as a simple molecular substance because a sample will contain many separate molecules, with forces other than covalent bonds between them. A giant covalent structure like diamond is wholly held together by covalent bonds.
an amorphous substance is something that has a random molecular formation in it's natural form (when solidified). the opposite would be semi-cristaline which has random molecular structure when heated but returns to an organised unifom state when solidified. example. certain polymers
Benedict's solution
The state of a substance at 1 ATM and -50 degrees Celsius would depend on the substance. For most substances, at -50 degrees Celsius and 1 ATM pressure, they would typically be in a solid state.
The substance would be in a gaseous state if it had no fixed volume. Gases have no fixed shape or volume and can expand to fill the container they are in.
