Best Answer

In a plasma, the particles (atoms, electrons, ions) move at a high velocity - they have high energies. Under such circumstances, it is less likely for electrons and positive ions to combine. Some will sure combine, but due to the high-energy collisions between particles, other atoms will again separate into ions and electrons. The net result is that - as long as the high temperature is maintained - there will be an abundance of charged particles.

How can a gas change to a plasma?

gas can change to plasma when high energy state is no longer maintained and ions combine either with other ions or whit electrons to form stable molecules.


What group of elements on the periodic table lose one electron to combine?

The atoms of the group 1 elements, called the alkali metals, lose one electron and form positively charged ions in order form ionic compounds with negative ions of nonmetals, or negatively charged polyatomic ions.


Do the ions combine in a 11 ratio?

It depends on which ions are involved. Na+ and Cl- ions combine in this ratio.

How do you define the term acid?

Acid, when referring to the science term are proton donors that yield hydronium ions in a water solution, or electron-pair acceptors that combine with electron-pair donors or bases.


What an electron transport chain?

in this step the energy carried by electrons is used to synthesize (ATP). In electron transport chain NADH and FADH2 realese electrons and hydrogen ions. These electrons are taken up by a series of electron carriers. When electrons move through the series of electron carriers they lose electrons and hydrogen ions combine with moleculaer oxygen to form water.

What is happening with the electrons in ionic bonding?

In ionic bonding the electron rich species donates electron to the electron lacking species.in this process the electron donating species converts into cation by loosing electron and electron accepting species converts into anion by accepting electron.the ions now combine to from a ionic compound by releasing lattice energy
