A plasma has a very high temperature, even higher than a gas, since it has A LOT of energy. The increased amount of energy results in the electrons to be "ripped off" from the nucleus, now roaming freely. A plasma gives off light and is a good conductor of electricity because it doesn't have its electrons. It has an indefinite shape and volume. It is also sometimes called an ionized gas.

What attracts plasma?

Plasma is attracted to electromagnetic fields because it consists of charged particles such as electrons and ions. These charged particles can be influenced by electric and magnetic fields, causing them to move and interact in different ways.


What does energy cause matter to do?

Energy can cause matter to change states (such as from solid to liquid), move (such as with kinetic energy), or create interactions between particles (such as in chemical reactions). Ultimately, energy can influence the behavior and properties of matter in various ways.


In what ways are the three states of matter similar?

The three states of matter (solid, liquid, gas) are similar in that they are all forms of matter with mass and volume. They can also undergo physical changes, such as melting or freezing, without changing their chemical composition. Additionally, they are all made up of particles (atoms or molecules) that are constantly in motion.


What is a matter in science?

According to wikipedia: "Typically, matter includes atoms and other particles which have mass. A common way of defining matter is as anything that has mass and occupies volume. However, different fields use the term in different and sometimes incompatible ways; there is no single agreed scientific meaning of the word "matter"."So the long and short of it is that matter is stuff, everything around us, you are made of matter. Or, as science teachers would say, matter has mass and takes up space.


What is the study of matter and energy called?

Physics and chemistry are both involved in studying matter and energy, in different ways.

How do particles in a plasma react?

Supposedly there are only certain components of atoms in plasma (protons, and electrons), one thing you have to understand about plasma is that it's a state of matter; not an element or molecule, and since plasma is just said to be ionized gas that means that any gas can become plasma if highly ionized (which basically just means that its atoms rip each other apart and go nuckin futts), so different types of gas become different types of plasma. So there are no atoms in plasma but the the protons and electrons that are in it all used to be atoms. Plasma is a very mysterious thing to scientists, even though we use it for allot of stuff those are just the few types of plasma that we understand, like i said its a state of matter; there's trillions of different types which can behave in all different ways, but plasma is the only known state of matter that doesn't consist of atoms, its just atom particles going crazy ( attracting and repelling each other erratically.


Do LED lights have plasma?

Plasma is a state of matter in the same way that solids, liquids and gases are also states of matter. Plasma is found in fluorescent light bulbs and is used to generate images in a plasma television. So, a television has the same kind of plasma as a light bulb but applied in different ways.


When material changes what are the four ways?

If you are talking about changes in the state of matter then it its as follows: Solid, Liquid, Gaseous ( Gas ), and Plasmonic ( Plasma ).


What are three ways that matter is matter?

Do you mean the states of matter? Solid, liquid and gas are the three (usual) states of matter (around here). Otherwise, matter is matter because it resists acceleration, it is attracted gravitationally, and (?) it occupies space.

What are the classifications of matters?

All around us are substances that are made of matter. Matter has mass and occupies some space. Different kinds of substances are made up of different matter. Matter can be thus classified in many ways. Two basic classifications of matter are based on its physical and chemical properties. The physical classification of matter shows its physical appearance that describe the shape, hardness, softness, melting and boiling points. The chemical classification of matter shows the ability of matter to change its composition to form new substances. The different kinds of matter are gases, liquids, solids, and plasmas.
