atoms make up the world and us humans, so they are present in solids, liquids and gases.

A2:although atoms are present in solids liquids and gases, they are truly "solid", because when matter is in liquid form, it just means that there is more space between atoms, so you are feeling less matter and more space/vacuum. if somehow, you were to touch a single atom, it probably be solid, because solids are atoms tightly packed, so you are feeling more matter and less space

Atoms are neither solid, liquid nor gas. Atoms are composed of subatomic (meaning smaller than an atom) "particles" called protons, electrons and neutrons. Although we call them particles, they are not physical things that can be described as solid, liquid or gas.

No. The "state" in physics (solid, liquid, gas, plasma) has to do with the vibration of atoms against other atoms. An individual atom can not have a state.
