• The Fourth State: While matter typically transitions from solid to liquid to gas with added energy, further heating causes electrons to rip away from atoms, creating plasma.

  • Characteristics: Plasma is an electrically conductive, quasi-neutral medium of charged particles (ions and electrons). It is not a gas, as its behavior is dictated by electric and magnetic fields, not just pressure and temperature.

  • Energy Requirements: To maintain a plasma, a continuous, high-energy supply is required.
