Solution

Plasma is a heated ionized gas made up of roughly equal amounts of positively and negatively charged ions and electrons.
Plasmas are classified as a distinct "fourth state of matter" because their properties differ from those of neutral gases.
Although plasma is frequently mistaken for a subset of gases, the two states act extremely differently.
Plasmas are less dense than solids or liquids and have no definite shape or volume, similar to gases.
Therefore, Plasma state of matter consists of electrically charged particles of gaseous matter.
