Question

What happens when the kinetic energy of molecules increases so much that electrons are released by the atoms, creating a swirling gas of positive ions and negative electrons?

Answer 1

The correct answer on edgenuit.y is

C) Matter changes to a plasma state.

Hope This Helps

Answer 2

Explanation:

Plasma is a state of matter which is a hot ionized gas and it contains molecules with positive ions and negative electrons.

Since there is high kinetic energy of molecules so, there is swirling gas of positive ions and negative electrons. As a result, there will be release of electrons.

For example, lightening is an example of partially ionized plasma.
