I mean, technically you can lick any of them...

Can you, though? Can you lick a gas? Am I licking the atmosphere when I stick my tongue out?

Plenty of them are also so rare that there isn't enough of them to form any lickable matter; solid, liquid or gaseous.

Some have such an incredibly short half-life, you cannot lick it before it decays into something else.

Yes you can lick a gas. Have you ever tasted a fart?
