Sodium Chloride is the scientific name for table salt. It is a solid because room temperature (at a normal dinner table) is far below its melting point.

Is sodium chloride a green house gas?

Sodium chloride, like most everything else, can exist in any of the three states. Considering standard pressure, it exists as a gas above 1465°C, which is very hot, but possible. It is a liquid between 801-1465°C. It is solid at all temperatures below 801°C. The melting point is so high because ionic bonds are the strongest type of intermolecular forces.
