This is due to capillary action and the rules of solubility and polarity.

Some will and some won't.

No, a solid is a solid and a gas is a gas. They are two separate states of matter.
Changing directly from a gas to a solid is called deposition.Changing directly from a solid to a gas is called sublimation.

Platinum is a solid.
