To ionize a gas, we need to add energy to it. Electrical voltage works well to ionize gas, and, though there are other ways to accomplish ionization, we see this way frequently. As one example, fluorscent tubes use electrical voltage to ionize gas to create the light we use to illuminate areas where we need that light. Lightning ionizes the gases in air to create a current path, and high voltage is the way it does this.

Do gases contain unbalanced numbers of electrons and protons?
Neutral gases do not; ionized gases do.
What is called sometimes the fourth phase of matter?
Plasma (ionized gases).
What is cat's eye nebula made out of?
Hydrogen, helium, and other ionized gases
How is gases and plasma different?
A plasma is a gas where the atoms are ionized (usually it is so hot that the atoms are completely ionized, the nuclei and electrons are completely separate).
What is plasma gases?
Plasma is a fourth state of matter. It is super-heated ionized gas.
Are gases in the atmosphere of hot stars more ionized than those in cool stars?
yes
Is the sun made up of rock or gases?
it is made of hydrogen and helium Ryan92394 adds: The sun is made of Ionized gases, better known as plasma.
What kind of gas is in nebula?
Nebula is an interstellar cloud of dust,hydrogen, helium and other ionized gases.
Why liquidgas or plasma considered fluids?
Fluids are substances that flow. Liquids flow, gases flow, and ionized gases (plasmas) flow. Thus, they are all fluids.
What has the author Essam Nasser written?
Essam Nasser has written: 'Fundamentals of gaseous ionization and plasma electronics' -- subject- s -: Ionization of gases, Plasma - Ionized gases -
What are two forces that act on the sun?
they two forces that are acting on the gases in the sun are megenetic feild pole and the ionized gas
Why are some liquids and some gas conductors of electricity?
molten metals are liquids that conduct electricity (mercury is molten at room temperature)electrolytes are liquids that conduct electricity (acids, salts, or bases either dissolved in water or molten)ionized gases conduct electricity (unless ionized gases are excellent insulators)
