How many percent of matter is made up is plasma?

From Wikipedia: "Plasmas are by far the most common phase of ordinary matter in the universe, both by mass and by volume."That's because plasma makes up both stars, and the intergalactic medium.However, I wasn't able to find a specific percentage. I would assume that the best you can get is an estimate, which may not be very accurate.


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.


Is there 6 or 7 states of matter?

Arguably, yes. There is supposedly four forms of matter: Air, Liquid, Solid, and Plasma or Dark Matter. Plasma is the substance of which outer space is made of: ectoplasm is the substance in which (allegedly) ghosts, poltergeists, domovoys, and the like are made out of.


Can all matter be classified as solid liquid or gas?

No. While most matter on Earth is in one of those three states, not all of it is. A gas that ionized (electrons have broken free of atoms or molecules) enters a fourth state of matter called plasma. Plasma can be found in electrical arcs such as lightning and where substances are heated to extreme temperatures. The sun is plasma. At high temperatures and pressures some substances that are normally liquids or gasses can become supercritical fluids, a state that is intermediate between liquid and gas. At temperatures near absolute zero some materials can from a Bose-Einstein condensate, in which atoms stop acting as individual particles and start acting as a uniform wave. The cores of many dead stars form white dwarfs, which are are composed of electron-degenerate matter, a state thousands of times denser than anything found on Earth. The cores of massive stars may form neutron stars, which are composed of neutron-degenerate matter, which is millions of times denser than electron-degenerate matter.


What elements form plasma?

Plasmas can be thought of consisting of elements that have "lost one or more electron", or become "ionized". Consequently, most plasmas contain a mixture of electrons, and positive ions such as protons. Since protons and electrons could recombine to form hydrogen gas, this mixture of particles is sometimes called a hydrogen plasma, because its components could make up hydrogen, even though there may be no hydrogen present.

What state of matter is bouncing?

It is none. State of matter is Solid, liquid, gas (and Plasma I think). You may be thinking of what types of energy


Can matter change state?

Yes. Matter may be in the states of solid, liquid, gas, plasma, and Bose-Einstein Condensate.


The phase of matter that is made up of very high-energy particles is?

Plasma. It is a state of matter in which particles are energized to the point that electrons are stripped away from their atoms, leading to a mix of positively charged ions and free electrons. Plasma is commonly found in stars, lightning bolts, and certain industrial processes like plasma cutting.


What state of matter is not a conventional state?

There are infact two! In general plasma is not considered a "conventional" state of matter. Another that may be considered "unconventional" is a state known as a Bose-Einstein condensate. For more information on the states of matter, please see the related question.


What is a sentence with plasma?

Heating a gas may ionize its molecules or atoms, thus turning it into a plasma.


What shape do plasma have?

Plasma does not have a fixed shape because it is a state of matter where atoms have been ionized into positively charged ions and free electrons. As a result, plasma can take on the shape of its container or the electromagnetic fields that may be present.

What is plasma and how does it happen?

Referred to as a 4th state of matter, plasma is a very hot condition that occurs in stars in which electrons are no longer orbiting individual nuclei, this allows collisions of nuclei which may lead to nuclear fusion.


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.
