Plasma is a state of matter.

However it only happens at such high temperature and is so different from the other three states of matter, that it is usually omitted from lower level physics classes.

The mathematics needed to analyze plasma (electromagnetohydrodynamics or quantum electromagnetohydrodynamics) is far more complicated than the mathematics needed to analyze gases or liquids (fluid dynamics), making plasma far harder to understand.

Wht is the fourth state of matter?

The fourth state of matter is plasma, which is a highly ionized gas consisting of positively charged ions and free electrons. Plasma is commonly found in stars, lightning strikes, and electric sparks.


Which matter exists in the plasma state?

Plasma is the fourth state of matter that exists at high temperatures, where atoms lose their electrons and become ionized. Example of matter in plasma state include the Sun, lightning bolts, and fluorescent tube lights.


Plasma state of matter?

Plasma is a state of matter in which the particles are highly ionized and the electrons have been stripped from their atoms. Plasma is often referred to as the fourth state of matter and is found in stars, lightning, and neon lights. It is a highly energetic state that conducts electricity and can be influenced by magnetic fields.


Where can matter be found in plasma state in blood or livers or river or lightning?

Matter can be found in the plasma state in lightning. Lightning is a form of plasma, which is a state of matter where atoms are stripped of their electrons and exist as ionized gas. Plasma is commonly found in stars, lightning, and certain experimental setups, rather than in blood, livers, or rivers.


Difference between plasma to the other state of matter?

Plasma is a state of matter where atoms are ionized and have freely moving electrons. It is distinct from solids, liquids, and gases because the particles are not bound together. Plasma is electrically conductive and responds to electromagnetic forces, whereas the other states of matter do not.
