Bromine is fairly common on Earth. Bromine is naturally found in the Earth's crust and in seawater.


Why are technetum promethium and neptunium considered naturally occurring elements even though they are not found on earth?

These elements exist also naturally - in infinitesimal amounts - in the Earth crust.But practically are artificial elements.


Is thulium man made?

No. It is a "Rare Earth"- found only in trace amounts, but naturally occurring.


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

Where is plasma the fourth state of matter found?

plasma is found in stars. the only naturally occurring plasma on Earth is lightning. it is not to be confused with the plasma in your blood however, as these are not the same thing. plasma screen TVs use plasma the same way as fluorescent lights, but this is not naturally occurring plasma.

Where could you find plasma naturally on Earth?

plasma makes up 99% of the visible and observable matter in the universe. plasma is a state of matter like solids and liqiuds and gases. this one is the fourth. it is also found in plasma tvs, stars and extremely hot places.


Why is plasma found in stars but rarely on earth?

Throughout the Universe, plasma is the most common form of matter, making up over 99% of the visible Universe. The Sun and all the stars are plasma, as is the interplanetary medium (space between the planets), the interstellar medium (space between the stars), and intergalactic medium (space between the galaxies). On Earth, plasma is found in the aurora, the ionosphere, in fire, and lightning, and at the Earth's core. For more information, see: http://www.plasma-universe.com/


Why is plasma the state of matter that is found in stars but is not common on earth?

Plasma is a very high energy state of matter that is usually only found at high temperatures. Stars are extremely hot, which easily allows the development of plasma. Earth is much cooler, which makes it difficult for plasma to form. Plasma can still be found in lightning bolts and fire.
