The physical properties of any element is defined by two factors, pressure and temperature. All natural pure elements found on earth can exist in all phases. To change the phase (liquid, solid, gas) you can change either the pressure or temperature. The phase indicated on the Periodic Table is the element's ground state at 1 ATM (a unit of pressure) and 20oC or 293 K (Kelvin, where 0k= absolute zero, when all molecules stop moving).

How do you tell if a element is a gas solid or liquid at room temperature using the periodic table?

The periodic table is organized so that elements with similar chemical properties are aligned in columns...hence, if you the chemical prop. of one element, then it is reasonable to assume that the other elements in the same column will have similar prop. O3
