Not necessarily into a gas of the particular substance. There is no such thing as gaseous wood. All highly crosslinked polymers will not vaporize, but will simply decompose. Ionic solids when "boiled" will give off a gas of charged particles which are not the same as the solid.

Yes, with the required amount of added heat.
Solids will first melt, then boil, then vaporise.
There are some that don't pass through the liquid phase but sublimate directly into gases. (like solid CO2 (dry-ice)).

Theoretically yes, given the right conditions of temperature, pressure and gravity. However, it is not possible to manufacture the necessary conditions for all solids.

Eventually yes, though some substances may
undergo chemical changes before the point of
vaporization is reached.

Yes. If you apply enough heat energy, you can cause any solid material to either vaporize or burn. Either way it turns solid matter into gaseous matter.

No. Some solids decompose into new components.
For example: heat Na2CO3 and you will get CO2 and Na2O, not gaseous Na2CO3.

Yes, through deposition at extremely high temperatures for some elements.

Yes.

Even the hardest substance has a melting and boiling point.

Trick Question... All is always dangerous but I still say yes.
