It's interesting that a lot of answers can be found through Google, but I only answer the ones that are from my own experience. Matter exists at three states that are a function of temperature. Let's assume around 70 degrees. Gas, liquid or solid. Metal other than Mercury will be solid. But the metal has other properties as to how easily it is bent, electric conductivity and weight (or density). Do they oxidize easily. Take iron and aluminum. Aluminum bends easily and is highly conductive, light, and does not oxidize easily. Iron on the other hand is less conductive, very hard and must be heated to a high temperature to bend, and it oxidizes (rust) easily. Of course Iron mixed with other metals (such as Tungsten or Chromium) can be made more "friendly" for whatever the need is. God is great for tooth crowns because it is non reactive in your mouth. That is it's not breaking down into other chemicals.

Gases and liquids have different densities, reactivity with other elements, and electrical properties. Take for instance an inert gas like Neon, and a highly reactive gas like Neon.

Liquids are similar, differing in density (or weight), electrical properties, stability or reactivity. Take water for instance, which can exist of course in all three states (solid, liquid and gas) at typically encountered temperatures. Water is stable, however does react with compounds or elements to form different compounds. Like water and the gas sulfur dioxide react to form sulfuric acid. Sea water varies in salinity and the more salt dissolved, the heavier the water. It's easier to swim in the highly dense salt water.

Ice tends to hold positive charges while liquid water negative charges. This can result in lightning in thunderstorms..

For a person interested in more specifics about the elements, learn about the Periodic Table and what it tells you. For other more specific questions about compounds or elements I will always look in "The Handbook of Chemistry and Physics"
