In a plasma, the particles (atoms, electrons, ions) move at a high velocity - they have high energies. Under such circumstances, it is less likely for electrons and positive ions to combine. Some will sure combine, but due to the high-energy collisions between particles, other atoms will again separate into ions and electrons. The net result is that - as long as the high temperature is maintained - there will be an abundance of charged particles.

How can a gas change to a plasma?

gas can change to plasma when high energy state is no longer maintained and ions combine either with other ions or whit electrons to form stable molecules.


How do atoms and ions combine to form molecules?

Atoms combine to form molecules through chemical bonding, where they share or transfer electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. Ions, which are atoms or molecules that have gained or lost electrons, can also combine to form molecules by attracting to oppositely charged ions through ionic bonding.


What group of elements on the periodic table lose one electron to combine?

The atoms of the group 1 elements, called the alkali metals, lose one electron and form positively charged ions in order form ionic compounds with negative ions of nonmetals, or negatively charged polyatomic ions.


What is the particle diagram to describe the reaction between potassium and fluorine?

In the reaction between potassium and fluorine, potassium atoms will lose one electron each to form potassium ions, while fluorine atoms will gain one electron each to form fluoride ions. The potassium ions and fluoride ions will then combine to form potassium fluoride salt.


What an electron transport chain?

in this step the energy carried by electrons is used to synthesize (ATP). In electron transport chain NADH and FADH2 realese electrons and hydrogen ions. These electrons are taken up by a series of electron carriers. When electrons move through the series of electron carriers they lose electrons and hydrogen ions combine with moleculaer oxygen to form water.


What are the ions that have achieved escape velocity called?

Plasma Ions.

Which state of matter consists of ions and electrons plasma liquid or other?

Plasma consists of ions and electrons. Plasma is considered the fourth state of matter, where atoms are stripped of their electrons to form a mixture of positively charged ions and negatively charged electrons.


What is happening with the electrons in ionic bonding?

In ionic bonding the electron rich species donates electron to the electron lacking species.in this process the electron donating species converts into cation by loosing electron and electron accepting species converts into anion by accepting electron.the ions now combine to from a ionic compound by releasing lattice energy
