What is the most common state of matter-?
Plasma is the most common state of matter. Plasma is a mixture of atoms and ions and electrons where electrons are mobile with respect to the ions and atoms. For example, electrons in conducting metals constitute a Plasma mixture; ionized gas is a plasma mixture. The key to Plasmas is the presence of mobile charges in a mixture. The mixture can be charge balanced, (plus and minus charge equal), but some charges are mobile, not bound. For example atoms in a crystal may be bound in the crystal structure but their electrons can move within the crystal structure, thus creating a an electron plasma.
What state of matter is a grouping of electrons and ions that react collectively to forces exerted by electric and magnetic fields?
Plasma
How do particles differ in states of matter?
The primary difference in particles in different sates of matter is their kinetic energy. Atoms and molecules in solids will have less kinetic energy (the energy of "vibration" or motion) than those same atoms and molecules will in the liquid state. In a gas, the atoms or molecules will have more energy than in the liquid state, and much more than in the solid state. That's the key here. There is a bit more to this in that the atoms and molecules in solids will be "bound together" more than in the liquid state. The solid has "structure" or "shape" because of the inter-atomic or intermolecular bonds. That changes in a liquid as liquids don't hold their shape, which you knew as a part of the definition of that state of matter. It's easy to see that the atoms and molecules will be even less strongly bound together in a gaseous state, and for the same reason. But atomic or molecular kinetic energy will keep atoms or molecules apart if it is high. And it will allow them to "come together" to interact and "hook up" if it is low.
Does melting lose atoms?
No. Changes of state do not change the number of atoms.
How many electrons does the C atom own by oxidation-state electron bookkeeping?
4 electrons
What is the state of matter electrons are electrons are stripped away from the nuclei?
Plasma
What is the state of matter when electrons are stripped away from the nuclei?
This is plasma.
Why 4states of matter and not 3?
Plasma is probably the fourth state of matter that you are alluding to: Solid, Liquid, Gas and Plasma. Plasma is superheated matter where the electrons are stripped from the nucleus.
What is the state of matter called that exists in the extreme heat in the interrior of stars?
Star matter exists in the heightened state of plasma, a superheated state of matter in which electrons are not bound to the atoms as they usually would be.
Can you give an example for plasma state of matter in space?
Matter approaching the event horizon of a black hole. The gases have been stripped of their electrons by force of gravity as they accelerate towards the singularity.
What is plasma in a matter?
Bad wording. Plasma is a STATE of matter. Going from coldest to hottest (least energetic to most): solid - liquid - gas - plasma Matter goes into the plasma state when the energy level gets to the point where electrons get stripped off.
What is the role of plasma in atmosphere in electricity and in the blood?
The word has different meaning in the two cases. Plasma in the atmosphere with regard to electricity is a highly ionized state of matter. All or most of the electrons are stripped from their atoms. Plasma in the blood is the liquid part as opposed to any suspended parts.
Why is plasma different from solid liquid and gas?
Solid, liquid, and gas states of matter are composed of neutral atoms or molecules. Plasma is the state of matter composed of highly ionized atoms and free electrons.
What state of matter is a star considered?
Most stars are in a plasma state, where the electrons are stripped from their atomic nuclei, forming an ionized gas. Big collapsing stars enter a degenerate state of matter, where protons absorb electrons to form neutrons, and the neutrons are packed together so tightly not even neutrinos can shine through. Such neutron stars are essentially really, really big atoms, even though their physical volume might be less than that of our puny earth.
At high temperatures such as those found in the sun the electrons are ripped off of atoms to create another state of matter called what?
plasma
What state of matter is made up of particles that have broken apart?
The answer to this question is Plasma. Plasma is the special state of matter in which atoms are broken down into charged particles. A good reference would be the sun. ~Kazuku-Nakamaru
What does plasma do as the fourth state of matter?
Fourth state of matter is the ionic state which is named as plasma. Plasma in case of blood is different from this Ions are nothing but the atoms having lost the electrons or having excess of electrons. These occur only at very high temperatures.
