Apparently it is some sort of heated gas, that is what I understand. Why not just call it gas then? Does it matter if it’s heated or not, what is the difference? Is there any difference to gas in the bonds of the particles?
In: Chemistry
Plasma is an electrically conductive gas in which the electrons have become dissociated from their nuclei. In other words, whether as a result of heating or some other force, the atoms in the gas are stripped of electrons and you get a soup of bare protons, neutrons, and electrons. This substance behaves substantially differently from a typical atomic gas, to the point of being classified as a different form of matter.
