What state are oxyegen and nitrogen in?
Oxygen at 50 bar at 300 K
Nitrogen at 50 bar at 300 K
I cant figure out what state they are in at these temperatures and pressures. Is it gas form?

At 300K you have just one choice - - gas. No matter what the pressure is.

Not sure where FC is studying science but seems not to be getting his/her money's worth. As you state your question, the issue is not that you are increasing the pressure (you do not need Boyle's Law), you simply have oxygen and nitrogen at the stated pressure and temperature.
At these conditions, oxygen and nitrogen both are normally found as molecules O2 and N2. The boiling points of these are as stated. Oxygen can also be found at these conditions as O3, what we call ozone but I don't think there is a stable N3 molecule. And, if you do it correctly, both of these can exist at these conditions as single atoms, O and N.
Regardless of the molecular formula, all of these will be gas at these conditions.
As far as not being able to transform to liquid??? This is wrong. At sufficient pressure, O2 gas will condense to liquid (same for N2).
