Plasmas are a common part of the world we live in. The definition of plasma allows them to exist within an environment consisting mostly of bound atoms.

A variety of human technology creates plasmas. The type I hear plasma researchers reference most is a simple RF Plasma. This is perhaps the most direct way to use electricity to shake off the electrons from their atoms within a confined volume by using fast oscillating electromagnetic fields.

Nature also creates plasma. An Aurora is certainly included. Many less "exotic" plasma states are much more common. A fire has a low population of the ionized species, but is still a plasma.

See Wikipedia for a list of available plasmas over there..! Or have a look below for the chart which shows variation of temperature and electron density in different plasmas..!

Plasmas

A quick Googling would've provided the answer. Common examples include

Lightning..!

The Sun (from Core to Corona)

Fluorescent Lights and Neon Signs

Nebulae (Luminous Clouds in Space)

The Solar Wind

Primordial Fusion during the evolution of the Universe

Magnetic Confinement Fusion Plasmas

Inertially Confined Fusion Plasmas

Flames as Plasmas

Auroras (Northern & Southern Lights)

Interstellar Space (It's not empty... It's a plasma)

Quasars, Radiogalaxies, and Galaxies (Emit plasma radiation and microwaves)

Large Scale Structures of Galaxies (Filamentary and magnetized..!)

Dense Solid State Matter (When shocked by nuclear explosion or earthquakes which emit both visible light and radio waves)

Plasmas are a lot like gases, they are made up of free electrons and ions of an element such as neon (Ne). You don't find naturally occurring plasmas too often when you walk around. They aren't things that happen regularly on Earth.

HELP! <br><br>How many moles of a solute would 3 liters of a 2-molar solution contain? ​
katrin [286]

Answer: If it was 3 mol of solute in 2 L of solution it would be 1.5 mol/L.

However when the solute dissolves in the water creating the solution, the volume increases. So 3 mol of solute in 2 L of water creates more than 2 L of solution.

The correct method for making a 3 mol/L solution would be to place some water into a two liter volume container. Dissolve all 3 mol of the solute into the water. Then add water to the 2 L mark. Now there is 3 mol of solute and 2 L of solution.

Explanation: I hope this helps XDDDD

bija089 [108]

Answer:

The answer to your question is Element

Explanation:

Element is a substance whose atoms are all the same because of all the atoms

              have the same number of protons, neutrons and, electrons.

Compound is a substance formed when 2 or more atoms combined.

Mixture  is a substance formed by 2 or more different kinds of atoms or

              compounds.

Phase   is a state of matter like solid, liquid or gas.

According to the definitions, we conclude that the figure is an Element.

Potential energy is based on an objects <br><br> A)gravity<br> B)mass<br> C)position <br> D)kinetic
ollegr [7]

Answer:

c

Explanation:

because potential energy is created with the position of a body when you pick up something the thing will have stored energy which is transferred from you so the stored energy is potential energy created by the position of a body that when you see over your head you scared of that thing not to bit you because it has stored energy if you see the thing already failed on the ground you wouldn't scared of that because the enery is already gone

Hope help you

P−aminobenzenesulfonic acid (sulfanilic acid) is normally written in the form shown but its zwitterionic form is more stable. wr
polet [3.4K]
Zwitterion is an ion consists of equal positive and negative charges on the same molecule which make it more stable and has high melting point 
p-aminobenzene sulfonic acid contains both acidic (-SO₃H) and basic groups (NH₂), the acidic group will lose one proton to give (-SO₃⁻) and the basic group will gain this proton to give (-NH₃⁺)
The structure is:
