No. Entropy (S) is often spoken of as the unavailability of energy in a system. A plasma is super hot. It has lots of thermal energy that might be tapped. A gas, on the other hand, is atoms and molecules running around with their electrons attached. Contrast this with a plasma, which has nuclei floating around in a thermal inferno so hot the electrons took a powder. You can tap the thermal energy of a ball of plasma, but it is much harder to tap the thermal energy of a balloon full of gas. There is more entropy, that is, there is less available energy, in a gas than in a plasma.

Plasma is a state of matter where the particles are highly ionized, meaning they have lost or gained electrons and exist as charged particles. Gas, on the other hand, consists of neutral atoms or molecules. Plasma can conduct electricity and is influenced by electric and magnetic fields, while gases do not possess these properties. Additionally, plasma is typically at a much higher temperature than gases.

What are three states of matter. What chemical property of a substance determines its state?
The classic states of matter are solid, liquid, gas and plasma.
Does the formality - or physical state - of a substance depend upon it's temperature?
Yes. Hottest to Coolest: Plasma, Gas, Liquid, and Solid.
What is a substance going from solid to liquid to gas to plasma?
water
Why plasma not a liquid?
Plasma is not a liquid as liquid is an entirely different state of matter. Plasma is it's own state of matter and so can not be classed as either solid liquid or gas.
What substance is form of matter that consists super heated gas?
Plasma
Which type of property is the state of a substance?
The state is a property. Solid, liquid, gas, or plasma are the states.
What are seven different types of substances that are found in plasma?
Plasma is a state after gas form Solid - liquid - gas - plasma
What is plasma states of matter?
Plasma is a state of matter that does not have a definite shape or volume; its properties is different from gases in which plasma conduct electric current and gas do not.
How is the plasma state different from the other states?
plasma is differ from other states because it has an ionized gas
What is true for a substance undergoing a phase change?
It will change state from a solid to a liquid to a gas and finally to a plasma.
What change in state requires an energy to be added to the substance?
All in the sequence : solid -> liquid -> gas -> plasma.
What is a physical form that a substance can exist?
Solid, liquid, gas, or plasma. A substance can occur in any one these states. All matter occurs in one of these 4 states. These are the 4 states of matter.
How can plasma be different enough from a gas to be called fourth state of matter?
A Gas is electrically neutral, a plasma is ionized ... and thus is a good conductor of electricity.
What is lightning a solid liquid or a gas?
None of these. It is a different state of matter, plasma. Or better yet, it is the flowing electrons in a plasma.
Where plasma is present in the universe?
Plasma can occur anywhere where there is extreme heat, plasma is not a substance but the fourth state after solid, liquid and gas. It is effect superheated gas, an example is the glow on the nose of the shuttle as it re-enters the atmosphere, another is the surface of the sun.
How are gas and plasma different?
Plasma is ionized.
In what state of matter is the sun?
gas
