Plasma contains a large number of free charges and frequently current propagates due to collective charged particle excitations. For many purposes the conductivity of plasma can be considered almost infinite. If an exact number is needed, it greatly depends on the type of plasma. Artificial low temperature (in the Plasma sense :-) ) plasma can reach a conductivity as high as 1020 (A m/V). The most conductive solids are a few metals (copper, silver and gold for example) whose conductivity is of the order of 107 (A m/V) at room temperature (25 °C). Thus it is much lower (13 orders of magnitude!) with respect to plasma conductivity.
However it is too consider that if an high voltage is applied to artificial plasma to obtain an high current, the plasma can become unstable, exiting more complex effects with respect to pure current flow. In this case to talk of conductivity becomes difficult.

What are gases liquids plasma and solids?
Solids, liquids, gases, and plasma are the 4 states of Matter. Answer- States of Matter.There are four states of matter:>Solid = It is that state of matter in which it has a length, volume and shape, like a piece of wood.>Liquid = It is that state of matter in which it has no definite length or shape but definite volume, like water>Gas = It is also nearly similar to liquid, it expands to occupy more volume than liquid state, like air.>Plasma = It is a state very similar to the gaseous state where it is highly ionized (electrically charged), like ,the lightning, is plasma state on earthSolid, liquid, gas and plasma all states of matter.
What state of matter has the most particles?
thwe awnser is plasma
Where is plasma available?
In blood : Plasma is available in blood ,it is liquid part of blood (including dissolved chemicals but not the cells and platelets). In Physics : Plasma is available in electrically conducting medium in which there are roughly equal numbers of positively and negatively charged particles,and they are produced when the atoms in a gas become ionized. *Note : more than 99% of the matter in the universe exists in the plasma state.
What particles are in a constant state of motion and raely stick together would it be a gas or solid or plasma or liquid?
Liquids and gases (and plasma, a form of heated gas) have molecules which are not fixed, but move about. The molecules in solids may also move, but more often "oscillate" around a given position.
What is the three main classes of the elements?
Gases, Solids, and Liquids. There is also the addition of Plasma, but that is in some slightly more complex chemistry.
In which state of matter do the molecules have the most energy?
The gas state has the most energy out of all three states because of how freely the molecules are moving, and able to move. In a solid, the molecules are forced together, with minimal space to move. In a liquid, the molecules are able to move a considerable space, but not as freely as gas. This answer is based on the "basic" three states of matter - solids, liquids and gases. There are other states of matter, and a plasma is a state of extreme energy. For instance, a star like our sun is a big ball of plasma. And plasma is a collection of atoms that have so much thermal energy that all their electrons have been "boiled off" due to extreme heating. Heat a solid, it liquifies (sublimatin excepted). Heat a liquid, it boils. Heat a gas sufficiently, and it will shed its electrons and become a superheated - and highly energetic - substance. It will become a plasma. Note that there are other states of matter, but they don't involve extremely high energies.
What does densest mean for science?
solids are the densest state of matter. The molecules in solids are more tightly packed than either liquids or gases
What ia plasma?
Plasma is a super-charged state of matter than can be thought of as an energized gas. When gas gains more energy, it often becomes plasma. As such, plasma often carries and releases large amounts of energy.
Are there more than three states of matter?
Yes, plasma is considered a state of matter.
What is ionized gas?
Ionized gas is plasma which is the fourth state of matter. Plasma is a state of matter that starts as a gas and then becomes ionized. Ionizing is where it converts an atom of gas into an ion or ions by removing one or more of the electrons. Also plasma is in fire not gas.
What state of matter consisting of high temp gas with balanced positively and negatively charged particles?
A mixture of free-moving ions and electrons is called a plasma.
Is plasma part of the solid liquid and gas group?
Plasma might be considered part of the solid, liquid and gas group. That's because, like a solid, a liquid or a gas, a plasma is another state of matter. It could be treated as a fluid, as gases and liquids are often considered. Plasma is another state of matter that might be said to be "beyond" gas. If we superheat a substance greatly and drive electrons out of their orbitals around parent atoms, we end up with a plasma. Plasma is generally considered the fourth state of matter by physicists. A material that is "cool" enough to exist as a solid can be heated and undergo a change of state to become a liquid. Heat that substance more and it becomes a gas. Heat it yet more and it becomes ionized particles we call a plasma. Use the link below to learm more about the fourth state of matter.
