Halogens are the only Group on the Table for which gas, liquid, and solids exist at room temperature and pressure...….

Explanation:

And we address the normal boiling points of the dihalogens…

F_2, "normal boiling point" = -188.1 ""^@C

Cl_2, "normal boiling point" = -34.0 ""^@C

Br_2, "normal boiling point" = +137.8 ""^@C

I_2, "normal boiling point" = +183.0 ""^@C

The more electrons, the more polarizable is the dihalogen molecule, and the greater the intermolecular force, and the greater the boiling point.
