No. plasma is a phase of matter distinct from either liquid or gas.
Related Information:
There are four states of matter: Solid, liquid, gas and plasma.
The closest comparison would be to gas. But calling plasma a gas is about as accurate as calling a liquid a "solid".
A liquid is only a solid in comparison to gas, and plasma is only similar to a gas in that a substance must pass from a state of gas into another form of matter to become plasma.
Much like how some substances can transition from one state of matter to another: a classical example: water in natural temperature is liquid, frozen it becomes solid, heated it becomes gas; extremely ionized it transitions from gas to plasma.
In the most non-scientific explanation: A plasma can be considered as a gas of highly ionized particles, but the powerful inter-ionic forces lead to distinctly different properties beyond that of what should be classified as a gas, so that it is usually considered as a different phase or state of matter in physics discussions.

∙ 13y agoYes, a plasma can turn back into a gas if it cools down enough. Plasma is like a gas, but most of the atoms are ionized. The whole "cloud" of plasma has a lot of thermal energy in it. Electrons had been driven out of their orbitals because of the extreme energy. But by cooling the whole thing down, the atoms, which had become ions, will recapture electrons and return to their gaseous state.

Which is strongest gas?
A gas can not be strong or weak.It is a gas or it is not a gas.(Gas is one of the four 'States of Matter': plasma, gas, liquid, solid)
Does a plasma tv need to be refilled?
A plasma screen uses tiny cells of low pressure gas to generate an image. Once the cell is filled with the gas during manufacture, there is no way to repair the cell. If the gas composition is disturbed by damage to the screen, the only repair is a screen replacement.
What makes up plasma?
Plasma, in physics terms, is the fourth state of matter. It's form is similar to gas, but at extreme temperatures and energy, and shows the true colour of most elements when they are in their plasma form. Plasma is generally only found in the experimental Fusion reactors and in the stars themselves though due to the extreme requirements to create Plasma.
How do you turn into and winx fariy and turn back human?
by transforming back and forth
How sandstone can turn into obsidian then turn to past of a conglomerate then back to sandstone then back to obsidian?
Toast.
How does plasma turn to gas?
Plasma can turn to gas by being cooled, reducing temperature.
When does matter turn into plasma?
Matter becomes a plasma when it becomes a gas and the gas is ionized (electrically charged)
Can calcium turn into gas?
All matter can turn into solid, liquid, gas, or plasma form.
Why is plasma in lighting?
Plasma is not in lightning, but rather lightning is plasma. Plasma is a state of matter, just like a solid, liquid, or gas. Plasma is a gas-like state made of very hot charged particles. The gases in the air are briefly converted to plasma then back to gas just like melting and refreezing ice.
What gases can be changed into plasma the easiest?
First of all gases cannot turn in to plasma, it is the electrons ripped off from the gas that turns into plasma. And to search for the gas that enables plasma to be formed the easiest is to find the gas that has the highest electric conductivity, because how else can you make plasma without electricity. The high electric conductivity can cause the electrical energy to become more effective on the gas, in other words gases with high electric conductivity can generate plasma faster and easier. The gas should be "Argon"
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 does the plasma in a plasma screen mean?
Plasma is an ionized gas.
How does gas turn into a plasma?
A gas can change state to become a plasma if it is given enough energy. Adding electrical energy or thermal energy will drive electrons off the gas atoms and ionize them. The ionized gas atoms are now a plasma. This change of state is a physical change, and not a chemical one. Lastly a plasma can be created at different temperatures, and this will depend on the gas atoms being heated to become a plasma.
What happens when natural gas burns does it turn back to gas?
Natural gas IS a gas, so there is no way it can turn "back" into a gas. Traditional combustion reactions result in CO2 and H2O, and the combustion of natural gas would be no different.
