Yes, metals can exist in gaseous forms. To illustrate, let's consider lead, which has a boiling point of 1740°C. When heated past its melting point of 327°C, lead turns into a gas at 1740°C. Another notable example is mercury, which boils at a comparatively lower temperature of 356.7°C among metals.
However, gaseous forms of metals do not retain the properties characteristic of solid metals, such as metallic bonds, conductivity, ductility, or lustrous appearance. Thus, once metals enter a gaseous state, they cease to exhibit the defining qualities of metals and behave merely as elements in their gaseous states, retaining characteristics distinct from their 'parent' element, i.e., "mercury gas."
