Yes it’s possible.

The toughest is getting solid Helium, as you need extremely low temperatures and high pressures.

What determines the state is the ratio between kinetic energy (temperature) moving atoms in random directions, and the attractive forces between the atoms. Since every atom has these forces, and they are always limited you can get every element into every state with the correct temperature+pressure
