Physical state of metals at room temperature Physical state of non-metals at room temperature

Metals are usually in solid state at room temperature except mercury and gallium, which are in liquid state at room temperature. Non-metals occur in all the three states, i.e., solid (sulphur, phosphorous), liquid (bromine) and gas (oxygen, nitrogen, chlorine) at room temperature.
