Question

What is a plasma , regarding change in matter , chemistry ??

Answer 1

Dear Student,

Plasma is the fourth state of matter. This state consists of super energetic and super excited particles. These particles are in the form of ionised gasses. The fluorescent tube and neon sign bulbs contain plasma. In the fluorescent tube, there is helium or some other gas while in neon sign bulbs there is neon gas. When electricity is passed, the gas gets ionised and glowing plasma is formed. The colour of this glowing plasma depends upon the nature of the gas. The sun and stars glow due to the presence of plasma. The plasma in stars is formed due to high temperature.
