Why are some substances gases and others liquids at room temperature?

It depends on the substance's boiling and freezing temperatures.
For example, water's boiling point is 100°C, so at a temperature (e.g. 45°C) it is a liquid.
But if the temperature is for example -3°C, then water is a solid since the freezing point of water is 0°C.

What is the usual state at room temperature for a covalent compound?
liquids or gases
What state are molecular compounds at room temperature?
Ionic compounds are solids at room temperature whereas molecular substances as a group are variable in their states of matter - some are solids, but many are liquids or gases.
What properties is shared by solids liquids and gases?
Common properties of liquids and gases: (i) Both do not have a specific shape. (ii) Both are compressible. (iii) In both the states ,substances can flow. That is why they are called fluids.
Why are covalent compounds usually turn into gases or liquids at room temperature?

In which branch of chemistry behaviour of gases and liquid is studied?
This depends on the nature of substances: organic or inorganic.
Which substances can heat travel through by convection?
Fluids, aka liquids and gases.
What substances can convection happen in?
in liquids and gases
Are solids gases and liquids substances?
Yes, all are substances.
Are hydrogen and helium gases?
They can be depending on the temperature and pressure. They can also be liquids and solids. At room temperature and pressure they are gases.
What is the effect of temperature on gases in liquids?
It is varied for each substance.
How does cold temperature affect density?
there is a property called convection which applies to liquids and gases. that property says colder liquids or gases are denser.
Gases form of Liquid or solid substances?
Usually of liquids through the process of evaporation.
Why does the solubility of gases increase in liquids on increassing the temperature?
It doesn't. In general solubility of gases decrease as temperature increases.
How does the solubility of gases in liquids affected by changes in temperature?
Generally, the solubility of gasses in liquids go up as the temperature of the liquid goes down.
What is the usual state at room temperature for a covalent compound?
liquids or gases
When two gases or two liquids form a solution the substances that is present in the largest amount is the?
Solvent
What is Liquid things?
yes liquid is matter so is solids and gases
