Plasma: The Fourth State of Matter [Take an idea]

in #steemstem7 years ago (edited)

It is known to the non-specialists that the matter has three different states,
the solid as your device which using it to read this post
the liquid as the morning coffee
the gaseous as the oxygen that you breathe.
But, did you know the matter has a fourth state called : plasma.
In this post... I'll try to give you a simple idea of plasma

Let us know what is the plasma ?


what is the plasma ?

Matter is made up of atoms, and the condition of the matter varies according to the degree of cohesion of its atoms,

  • The solid matter : high cohesion,
  • The liquid matter :low-cohesion,
  • The gaseous matter : non-cohesion,
  • The plasma is similar to the gaseous state, but the difference is that the plasma is a gas become ionized, and the ionization is a process performed by the atom or molecule to get a positive or negative charge through the get or missing an electrons

Where is the plasma?

There is no plasma naturally in the Earth, but it is abundant in the universe, The nearest plasma to us in this universe is the sun, The sun and the stars are plasma balls.

What is plasma behavior?

In normal gas, all the particles behave almost the same way. If you have gas in a bowl and make its temperature equal to room temperature, all particles inside the bowl, moving at the same speed, but this does not happen in plasma, especially in the electrical and magnetic fields.
The magnetic field can create a number of very rapid particles,
so the magnetic and electrical field become more important for the plasma behavior.



This is a set of examples of Plasma:

The Lightning
Twilight Polar
The gas inside the fluorescent lights.
Solar wind
Earth's Ionosphere
Stars (including Sun)
The tail of the comet.
Pyrotechnic balls resulting from nuclear explosions
