What is and what kind of ionic charge does plasma have?

Plasma is a state of matter which exists at really high temperatures. Plasma gas is a mixture of ions, electrons and atoms. The other three states of matter are solid, liquid and gas.


Is silicate a state of matter?

No, there are only 4 states of matter: Commonly known are liquid, gas and solid. When you electrically charge a gas you get the fourth state of matter: plasma.


What is a hot ball glowing gas?

There a number of definintions. Fireball/ Plasma which occures during a fierce electrical storm. A Star like our Sun


What is considered the fourth state of matter after solid liquid and gas?

Plasma is another state of matter, but not found on our earth. Plasma reaches fairly high temperatures and can be found in the sun, or other stars:)Edit: Err... that's WAY off... plasma is found ALL OVER Earth, though it is rarely present for extended periods of time. High-heat flames can cause formation of plasma, and electrical current can also produce plasma (if you've ever seen those ball things that have what looks like "lightning" shooting around in them, that's actually basically what it is, only with a much lower electrical current that isn't in the slightest bit dangerous to a human, but the visible part of it is actually plasma). The visible part of lightning is plasma, as is any visible electrical current.So, no, plasma is not only found away from earth. It can be formed by burning things at fairly high temperatures e.g. gas flames, or by exciting gasses with electrical currents.e.g. discharge lamps


Is Proxima Centauirs surface a gas liquid solid or plasma?

it isn't a solid, liquid, nor a gas. IT IS PLASMA :P

What makes up a plasma tv?

A plasma TV screen is made up of a grid of tiny pixels filled with gas. An electrical charge is put across these pixels which cause the gas atoms to interact with a phosphor coating to create colours.

Is sun an electricity?

No. The Sun is a hot gas - plasma actually. There may be electrical currents in the Sun, but saying that the Sun "is" electricity would be incorrect.No. The Sun is a hot gas - plasma actually.

How do plasma balls work?

They burn on higrigon gas which is powered by an electric charge.


Is plasma total charge positive or negative?

Just like any material, it may, or may not, be electrically neutral. What makes it a plasma is that many of its atoms are ionized - but of course the ionization process produces both positive and negative charges (the positive ions, and the electrons). If the original gas had a zero net charge, then (due to the law of conservation of charge) the resulting plasma will also have a zero net charge.


Plasma is the super heated gas and 4th state of matter Is it exists in plasma TV?

Yes it does, contained within tiny glass tubes, just like a neon light, which also uses plasma.Although plasma is the fourth state of matter, as the question suggests, it is not necessarily at a high temperature. A plasma can be formed by a low pressure gas that is subjected to an electrical charge. It is this principle that is employed to generate light in fluorescent lamps, neon signs and indeed, the plasma television.
