Plasma

In physics and chemistry, plasma is a partially ionized gas, in which a certain proportion of electrons are free rather than being bound to an atom or molecule. The ability of the positive and negative charges to move somewhat independently makes the plasma electrically conductive so that it responds strongly to electromagnetic fields. Plasma therefore has properties quite unlike those of solids, liquids, or gases and is considered to be a distinct state of matter. Plasma typically takes the form of neutral gas-like clouds, as seen, for example, in the case of stars. Like gas, plasma does not have a definite shape or a definite volume unless enclosed in a container; unlike gas, in the influence of a magnetic field, it may form structures such as filaments, beams and double layers.

What is the process from a liquid to gas and gas to liquid?

The process from a liquid to a gas is called evaporation, where the liquid absorbs heat energy and changes into a gas. On the other hand, the process from a gas to a liquid is called condensation, where the gas loses heat energy and changes into a liquid. Both processes involve a change in temperature or pressure.
