Yes, because radon is a radioactive gas; but in the nature it is impossible to find radon as gas or solid.

Radon would be dangerous whether it was Solid or a Liquid. However Radon is a noble gas meaning it cannot be found. It is radiocative and doesnt contribute to the Natural Background Radiation.

Radon gas is a gas cold or hot.

It is one of the heaviest gases at room temperature, but is oderless, tastless and colourless. Testing for Radon is relatively easy, as test kits are commercially available.

When Radon is cold, it turns yellow because of its phosphorescence (below -71°C/-96°F), and turns a red-orange when the air liquefies (below -180°C/-292°F).
