No. For one thing, most gas giants are believed to have solid cores of rock and metal similar to terrestrial planets. Additionally, the extreme pressure inside a gas giant means that most of the "gas" that makes them up is not in a gaseous state. Below a certain level the hydrogen and helium transition into a supercritical fluid, a state of matter with traits of both a liquid and a gas. Below that you find a degenerate state of matter known as liquid metallic hydrogen.
