All atoms have 3 states ,gas,solid,and liquid

Most small molecules can. (Bigger molecules might break up before they go to a gas phase). Think about oxygen -- at room temperature it's a gas, but with the right temperature/pressure, you can get liquid phase and solid.

wax, as in candle wax/beeswax
wax is originally a gas, but the molecules are HUGE and heavy so they can't float around until they get heat from the flame on a wick (thats why you don't have a lot of left over wax once you burn a candle)
a liquid, cuz its like all melty when heated up
a solid cuz when its cool, its held together as a solid and maintains its structure

Well actually anything can turn in to a solid gas or liquid, every element on earth has a boiling point, and a melting point.
Any good chemistry manual will have these values listed for each element.
This chart you can click on each element to see it's numbers.

ANY SUBSTANCE can exist in all three states of matter. The only challenge is attaining the correct temperature and pressure.
