I would have to say KCl.

KCl (potassium chloride) is most likely to exist as a crystalline solid at room temperature. Crystalline solids typically have a highly ordered atomic arrangement which allows them to form distinct crystal structures.
The gaseous form of a substance that exists as a liquid at room temperature is known as vapor.
The critical temperature is the temperature at which a substance cannot exist in the liquid phase, regardless of the pressure applied. Beyond this temperature, the substance will be in the vapor phase.
A critical temperature is the temperature at which a substance transitions between different phases (solid, liquid, gas) under specific conditions, such as pressure. Above this temperature, the substance cannot exist in a distinct phase and becomes a supercritical fluid. It is a fundamental property for understanding phase transitions in materials.
When the pressure is less than the pressure of the triple point, the substance can exist in the gas phase. At pressures below the triple point, the substance would typically be in the gas phase due to the lower pressure preventing the substance from forming a liquid or solid.
No, covalent compounds can exist in various physical states at room temperature, not just as crystalline solids. They can also be found as liquids or gases depending on their molecular structure and intermolecular forces. Examples include water (liquid) and methane (gas).
