Why does some gas conduct electricity?

Most gases conduct electricity when a very high voltage is applied to them. This occurs in nature as lightning.The gases are ionised ,or stripped of electrons, and then become a plasma whereupon they conduct an electric current and glow according to their chemistry. Neon has a signature red colour.


Why gas conduct current at low pressure?

They don't. BUT at low pressures it is easy to ionize a gas, thus making it a plasma (which can be considered a state change {like boiling} and ionized gasses DO conduct current.

Is the liquid inside a plasma tv posion?

There is no liquid inside a plasma television. The "plasma" refers to low pressure gas contained in cells that for the image. When the gas is excited by a voltage across it, it changes state from a gas to a plasma which will pass an electric current. At no time does it become a liquid.

What are physical properties of plasma?

Plasma is a neutral mixture of charged and neutral particles. Some charged particles are not bound or move-able under an electric field. The plasma charge density supports current flows. The Plasma has a resonant frequency related to its charge density. Plasmas can reflect electromagnetic waves, transmit and absorb electromagnetic waves.
