Probably not, otherwise they would combine. You could consider a plasma flow rather like a fluid consisting of a mixture of free electrons and ionized atoms, but because of the temperatures involved, they are fast moving and widely separated. The glow in a plasma is of ocurse, produced by electrons descending from a higher energy state to one of lower energy, thus giving up a quantum of the particular characteristic light frequency.

The main particles are the ionized atoms, and they are more separate than the same atoms would be in a gas.

Astrophysical plasmas emitted electromagnetic radiation from radio, visible and x-rays. Those plasmas that emitted radiation in the visible spectrum (ie. light) are readily visible). 99.999% of the visible universe is in the plasma state.
