The majority of naturally occurring elements exist in nature in the solid state. This is due to the fact that most elements have melting and boiling points above room temperature, which means they are solid under standard conditions of temperature and pressure (0 degrees Celsius and 1 atmosphere of pressure). Only a few elements, such as mercury and the noble gases (e.g., helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon), exist in liquid or gaseous states at room temperature.
