Best Answer

Most elements are solids at room temperature because the vast majority of elements are metals (about 80%.) Metals have the particle-level property of interchangeable valence electrons, which means one metal atom has a strong attraction to another metal atom. This attraction means the metal atoms are fairly close together, which is a characteristic of solids.
