Unlike a gas plasma conduct electric current?

A gas plasma is a ionized gas in which atoms have lost or gained electrons, allowing it to conduct electricity. This is in contrast to a regular gas, where the atoms remain electrically neutral and do not conduct electricity well.


Do hydrogen molecules or hydrogen gas conduct electricity?

No, hydrogen molecules (H2) do not conduct electricity. However, hydrogen gas can conduct electricity when it is ionized or dissociated into its constituent ions (H+ and e-), making it capable of carrying an electric current.


Why are some liquids and some gas conductors of electricity?

molten metals are liquids that conduct electricity (mercury is molten at room temperature)electrolytes are liquids that conduct electricity (acids, salts, or bases either dissolved in water or molten)ionized gases conduct electricity (unless ionized gases are excellent insulators)


Why do you use starter for an incandescent lamp?

The starter will send a delayed high voltage electricity to the gas within the fluorescent bulb that cause the gas to be ionized and conduct electricity.


What properties do plasmas have that solids liquids and gases dont?

A plasma is an ionized gas ... thus its properties are those of a gas PLUS the fact that it can conduct electricity.


Why low pressure gas is used in thermionic valve?

If gas particles remain, they will get ionized and conduct electricity between elements resulting in a purple glow.


Does nitrogen conduct electricity?

Nitrogen is not considered to conduct electricity. This gas lacks the free electrons to support conduction.


Why methane can't conduct electricity?

Your question is not entirely correct in its assumption that gases don't conduct electricity; an ionized gas can conduct electricity very well, and in fact, that is necessary for the functioning of fluorescent light tubes (whether of the large or compact sizes) or neon lighting, which contain gases which become ionized when the light is on. But it is true that a non-ionized gas doesn't conduct electricity, and that is the kind of gas that we normally encounter; the air that we breathe is not ionized. If it were ionized, then all of our electrical equipment, wall outlets etc., would immediately short-circuit.Electricity acts on electrically charged objects of some kind, it cannot exert its force or interact with uncharged objects. So a normal air molecule is electrically neutral; it has no charge, therefore it has to way to interact with electricity. It does contain electrically charged component parts, which are the negatively charged electrons and the positively charged protons, but they are combined into electrically neutral atoms and molecules in which the positive and negative charges balance each other out. If a gas molecule is ionized by tearing away an electron, you are then left with a postively charged ionized molecule. Or you could add an electron and get a negatively charged ion. It works either way.


Can gas conduct heat?

Gas can conduct electricty, as demonstrated in halogen lights, it is just not a very strong conductor. Electricity is just the flow of electrons, and so if the gas molecules can be driven to producing/transfering electrons then they will conduct electricity. In gas filled light bulbs, electricity is conducted through the gas in the light bulb, exciting the gas molecules and creating light.


Is lightning a plasma?

Well, the path in which the visible portion of lightning takes is plasma. But plasma is a gas. An ionized gas. So the flash of light you see is static electricity from the clouds jumping through that ionized gas (plasma) to the earth.I have a master's in EE. I'm creatable. :)


Are there any other household conductors?

o There are some organic compounds that can conduct electricity (organic conductors) salts, solubilized in water or any other solvent that can solubilize them conduct electricity. Molten salts conduct electricity ionized atoms or molecules can conduct electricity


What state of matter which has super-energetic and super-excited particles in the form of an ionised gas?

Plasma is the state of matter with super energetic and super excited particles in the form of an ionized gas. This ionized gas consists of positively charged ions and free electrons that can conduct electricity.
