boron 2/3
fluorine 2/7
aluminium 2/8/3
phosphorous 2/8/3
helium 2/8/5

All of the above substances are gases or low boiling point liquids.why.

Boron's (B) melting point is about 2030 degrees celsius that's not a low temperature (relative to 37 degrees celsius). Aluminum (Boron Group neighbor) melts as an uncomfortable 660 degrees celsius. Phosphorus is a solid at 37 degrees, but it is likely burning making handling difficult.

Fluorine is a gas, but it is diatomic (F2). Moreover its gassahood is not unexpected as it is a group neighbor chlorine.

Helium is, like all nobel gasses, as gas at 37 degrees celsius. Helium also has one of the lowest Boiling Points of all the elements, and certain phases of liquid helium have pretty strange properties like no apparent viscosity.

So in response to your question, what is your question?---my periodic table list the gaseous elements at room temperature as Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Chlorine, Fluorine, and the Nobel Gasses (including Helium). So please expand.

Will explanation be more complete if it'z under the field of quantum theories?
