Plasma
Plasma consists of a gas heated to sufficiently high temperatures that the atoms ionize. The properties of the gas are controlled by electromagnetic forces among constituent ions and electrons, which results in a different type of behavior. Plasma is often considered the fourth state of matter (besi...

Plasma
One common description of plasma is to describe it as the fourth state of matter. We normally think of the three states of matter as solid, liquid and gas. For a common element, water, these states are ice, water and steam. The difference between these states relates to their energy levels. When...

Plasma
The fourth state of matter (along with the other states of matter: solids, liquids and gases) in which one or more electrons have been stripped from the atoms forming an ion gas. Therefore, capable of conducting electric currents. It is estimated that more than 99% of matter in the universe exists a...

plasma
Plasma is a highly ionized gas in which the charge of the electrons is balanced by the charge of the positive ions, so that the system as a whole is electrically neutral. Temperatures of 10 000 °C to 15 000 °C can be reached.
