is there a reason why all inert elements exist as gases.? what determines the state an element will exist in?

Question

no one gets my question....i am asking what determines that the force of attraction between the atoms of the same element will be less or more, and why is it not the same for all elements?

Answer 1

The state of an elemente, or of any compound at all is determined by the interaction between the atoms/molecules in it.
Inert gases ar called so because they interact very little, including among themselves. At "normal" (standard) conditions, they will all be gases. If you can lower the temperature enough, the atoms of the gas will be force to interact, and so the state can change.
This can be achived also with a lot of pressure.

Metals usually bound very well and that's why they are solid.

Hope this helps

Answer 2

Actually, all inert elements can be chilled and compressed to liquids. Heavier ones like argon, krypton, and xenon will freeze to solids. States of other elements usually depend on bonding of atoms to one another: Covalent or metallic bonding. Inert elements don't bond to one another and are attracted to one another (or not) by "force of gravity" or what are called London dispersion forces. London forces are attractions of (+) and (-) parts of separate atoms thatappear and disappear in a flash.
