Ultra heated hydrogen is used to make plasma (as in the plasma rocket, VASMIR, used by NASA).
add. But Neon is the common gas used to make the plasma in advertising signs. But any gas may be used (well almost any gas), as long as you have a sufficiently high voltage to ionize the gas.
It is normal to put a tiny amount of an easily ionizable gas in the lamp, to initiate the process. If you watch yellow sodium street lights starting up you'll see either a blue 'fore glow' (Mercury), or a red fore glow (neon).
Many metals may easily be made into a plasma, plasma is not confined to the gases.

Is a plasma is a gas with an electrical charge?
Yes, a plasma is a gas with an electrical charge.
Is Proxima Centauirs surface a gas liquid solid or plasma?
it isn't a solid, liquid, nor a gas. IT IS PLASMA :P
In what state of matter is the sun?
gas
What is the hottest burning gas?
Dicyanoacetylene (C4N2), also called carbon subnitride, is the hottest burning gas, burning at 4990 °C
What is it called when solid turns into plasma?
A solid can't transform directly into a plasma. A plasma is an ionized gas, usually at a very high temperature. A solid has to melt then be vaporized into a gas (or in a few cases, sublimate from solid to gas) before it can become a plasma.
What is the Rank states of matter in order from the slowest to fastest movement of particles?
solid< liquid< gas< plasma solids yield the slowest molecules while plasma's molecules zoom every which way.
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.
Why do particles change state?
Physical properties change depending on their current temperature. From coldest to hottest: Solid, liquid, gas, plasma.
Does the formality - or physical state - of a substance depend upon it's temperature?
Yes. Hottest to Coolest: Plasma, Gas, Liquid, and Solid.
What is the coolest part of the sun?
The highest temperatures of solid/liquid/gas in the sun are found in the core, but the hottest plasma is in the corona.
Why always gas can change into plasma?
because the plasma is gas
Is plasma a gas with an electrical charge?
Yes, a plasma is a gas with an electrical charge.
How does gas become plasma?
Plasma can be made from gas if a lot of energy is pushed into the gas.
Is the sun a plasma or gas?
plasma
What are the physical characteristics of plasma?
The features of plasma are ions and free electrons in a gas. plasma is neutrally charged.
What does the plasma in a plasma screen mean?
Plasma is an ionized gas.
Is plasma a gas with electric charge?
yes plasma is a gas with an electrical charge
