What is a gas like state of matter consisting of free electrons and atomic nuclei?
Plasma
What is the composition of plasma and where is it found?
Plasma is a state of matter ie:-solidliquidgas/vapourplasmaa plasma occurs when the atomic nuclei lose hold of their electrons so the atoms are ionised, it is the natural state of matter a high energy/temperature.Plasmas are therefore found in the Sun, in lightening bolts, and in electrical devices (such as neon lights) and particle accelerators.
Which state of matter is electricity?
Typically, electricity is not considered to be matter. Electricity is the movement of electrons. While electrons have mass and volume (the requirements for matter) the energy released by their motion does not. If an electric field is strong enough, it can form a plasma field. Plasma is considered to be matter.
What matter comes after plasma?
The next state of matter after plasma is called beam, where all the electrons, for some reason, all move the same direction.
What do you know about plasma physics?
Matter assumes the state of gas, comprising of ions and electrons, at a vary high temperature. This is called as Plasma.The study of properties of matter in this state is called as Plasma physics.
What is the state of matter electrons are electrons are stripped away from the nuclei?
Plasma
What is a gas like state of matter consisting of free electrons and atomic nuclei?
Plasma
Are stars matter?
No. There are four "states" of matter; solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. Plasma is the state of extremely hot gasses in which the electrons have been stripped away from the atomic nuclei, causing the nuclei and electrons to exist in a kind of super-heated nuclear soup. Stars are "plasma".
Why 4states of matter and not 3?
Plasma is probably the fourth state of matter that you are alluding to: Solid, Liquid, Gas and Plasma. Plasma is superheated matter where the electrons are stripped from the nucleus.
What state of matter would be incompressibe?
No state of matter is incompressible. Solids and liquids tend to be sparingly compressible at common pressures. When you get to pressures found in the core of a neutron star, nothing can withstand the force and the nuclei merge and the electrons are stripped away and the material becomes unimaginably dense--even denser than Sean Penn...whoops, did I say that?
What state of matter is a star considered?
Most stars are in a plasma state, where the electrons are stripped from their atomic nuclei, forming an ionized gas. Big collapsing stars enter a degenerate state of matter, where protons absorb electrons to form neutrons, and the neutrons are packed together so tightly not even neutrinos can shine through. Such neutron stars are essentially really, really big atoms, even though their physical volume might be less than that of our puny earth.
Can you give an example for plasma state of matter in space?
Matter approaching the event horizon of a black hole. The gases have been stripped of their electrons by force of gravity as they accelerate towards the singularity.
What is plasma in a matter?
Bad wording. Plasma is a STATE of matter. Going from coldest to hottest (least energetic to most): solid - liquid - gas - plasma Matter goes into the plasma state when the energy level gets to the point where electrons get stripped off.
What is plasma and how does it happen?
Referred to as a 4th state of matter, plasma is a very hot condition that occurs in stars in which electrons are no longer orbiting individual nuclei, this allows collisions of nuclei which may lead to nuclear fusion.
Where does the fourth state of matter exist?
The fourth state of matter is plasma, which is matter that is heated to such a high temperature that it no longer maintains its atomic structure, and becomes a mixture of atomic nuclei and electrons. This exists in fires, and in the sun, and in other very hot places.
What forms does matter come in?
Solid, Liquid, Gas. Good as far as it goes, but there is a fourth state of matter called plasma. This is like a gas, but has been highly ionised. That means that most, if not all, of the electrons have been stripped away from the atomic nuclei. Plasma is very energetic; a plasma torch will melt both steel and stone until it runs like water.
What is the state of matter in which atoms have been stripped of their electrons?
Plasma, found all over the Universe, common examples: stars, neon signs, and some cutting and welding equipment.
