No. Entropy (S) is often spoken of as the unavailability of energy in a system. A plasma is super hot. It has lots of thermal energy that might be tapped. A gas, on the other hand, is atoms and molecules running around with their electrons attached. Contrast this with a plasma, which has nuclei floating around in a thermal inferno so hot the electrons took a powder. You can tap the thermal energy of a ball of plasma, but it is much harder to tap the thermal energy of a balloon full of gas. There is more entropy, that is, there is less available energy, in a gas than in a plasma.

What is plasma states of matter?

Plasma is a state of matter that does not have a definite shape or volume; its properties is different from gases in which plasma conduct electric current and gas do not.


How is the plasma state different from the other states?

plasma is differ from other states because it has an ionized gas


What is a physical form that a substance can exist?

Solid, liquid, gas, or plasma. A substance can occur in any one these states. All matter occurs in one of these 4 states. These are the 4 states of matter.


How can plasma be different enough from a gas to be called fourth state of matter?

A Gas is electrically neutral, a plasma is ionized ... and thus is a good conductor of electricity.


What is lightning a solid liquid or a gas?

None of these. It is a different state of matter, plasma. Or better yet, it is the flowing electrons in a plasma.


Is the sun a hot gas?

No, the sun is composed of hot plasma. Plasma is a state of matter where gas particles have been stripped of their electrons, resulting in a highly energized and ionized state. This is different from a regular gas where particles are neutral.


How are gas and plasma different?

Plasma is ionized.


Where plasma is present in the universe?

Plasma can occur anywhere where there is extreme heat, plasma is not a substance but the fourth state after solid, liquid and gas. It is effect superheated gas, an example is the glow on the nose of the shuttle as it re-enters the atmosphere, another is the surface of the sun.


What is a state of matter?

A state of matter refers to the physical form that a substance exists in, which includes solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. These states are determined by the arrangement and movement of particles within the substance.


Is plasma part of the solid liquid and gas group?

Plasma might be considered part of the solid, liquid and gas group. That's because, like a solid, a liquid or a gas, a plasma is another state of matter. It could be treated as a fluid, as gases and liquids are often considered. Plasma is another state of matter that might be said to be "beyond" gas. If we superheat a substance greatly and drive electrons out of their orbitals around parent atoms, we end up with a plasma. Plasma is generally considered the fourth state of matter by physicists. A material that is "cool" enough to exist as a solid can be heated and undergo a change of state to become a liquid. Heat that substance more and it becomes a gas. Heat it yet more and it becomes ionized particles we call a plasma. Use the link below to learm more about the fourth state of matter.
