Metals are held together by non localised electrons. This is called metallic bonding. Generally metals have high melting points due to the nature of metallic bonding.
Two exceptions are Mercury which is a liquid at room temperature and Gallium which melts at around 37 oC, just higher than room temperature. The apparent anomaly of these melting points can be explained by examining the way the electrons are arranged around the nucleus. They have relatively stable electron configurations so that they do not have the same tendency to lose their valence (outer) electrons like other metals.
no. Mercury is a liquid at room temperature under 1 atmosphere. And hydrogen, technically, is also a metal.
It depends at what temperature. If we talk about room temperature then a natural state of a metal like Mercury is liquid (same as some non-metals like glass) while others like Copper are solid. Of course, in the vacuum of space where there is no influence of heat or sunlight, all metals are solid.
Some non-metals like carbon, sulphur, phosphorus,selenium iodine are solids at room temperature. carbon is also a solid at room temperature and even though Non-metals are not able to conduct electricity or heat very well. As opposed to metals carbon in the form of powdered graphite allowed its use as a semiconductor
Most metals do not gas at room temperature. They typically have high melting and boiling points, so they remain solid or liquid at room temperature. Some exceptions, such as mercury, do exist, but they are rare.
Non-metals typically exist in solid or gas phases at room temperature, with some non-metals like iodine and bromine being in a liquid phase. Examples of non-metals in the solid phase include sulfur, carbon, and phosphorus.

Most metals are solid at room temperature (20-30C)as room temperature is not enough to provide them required kinetic energy to overcome their forces of attraction or convert its state.thus,they remain solid at room temperature.
At room temperature all metalloids are solid.
No, metal is typically solid at room temperature. Some metals have melting points below room temperature, but they would still exist as solids at room temperature unless specifically cooled below their melting point.
Most metals at room temperature are in the solid phase. Gold is the most malleable and ductile of all known metals.
Semi-metals have some properties of metals and some from nonmetals. Semi-metals are solid at room temperature. They are also brittle, hard, and somewhat reactive.

On the Periodic Table, the majority of elements are metals and some of elements are non-metals . Most metals have a high melting point which means therefore the answer to this question is solid.
