Solution
Element: Helium Melting point (°C): -272 Boiling point (°C): -269 State at room temperature (25°C): Gas State at 2000°C: Gas
Element: Iron Melting point (°C): 1538 Boiling point (°C): 2861 State at room temperature (25°C): Solid State at 2000°C: Solid
Element: Bromine Melting point (°C): -7 Boiling point (°C): 59 State at room temperature (25°C): Liquid State at 2000°C: Gas
Element: Boron Melting point (°C): 2077 Boiling point (°C): 4000 State at room temperature (25°C): Solid State at 2000°C: Solid
Element: Mercury Melting point (°C): -39 Boiling point (°C): 357 State at room temperature (25°C): Liquid State at 2000°C: Gas
Element: Aluminium Melting point (°C): 660 Boiling point (°C): 2519 State at room temperature (25°C): Solid State at 2000°C: Liquid
Element: Fluorine Melting point (°C): -220 Boiling point (°C): -188 State at room temperature (25°C): Gas State at 2000°C: Gas
Please note that the state of an element at a given temperature depends on whether the temperature is above or below the element's melting and boiling points. If the temperature is below the melting point, the element is a solid. If it's between the melting and boiling points, it's a liquid. If it's above the boiling point, it's a gas.
