What is plasma and where can you find it

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.

How are valance electrons related to nuclear reactions?
Harrizon [31]

Explanation:

Valence electrons are not related in anyways to nuclear reactions.

They do not take part in nuclear reactions. Only some inner orbital electrons have the tendency of taking part in nuclear reactions.

The valence electrons are the outermost electrons in an atom.

Nuclear reactions takes place in the nucleus of an atom.

Valence electrons are exchanged and shared for chemical reactions to take place in between atoms.

We can conclude that valence electrons have no relevance in nuclear reactions

How much heat is required to change 25.0 g of water from solid to liquid at 0 oC? Water: ΔHfus = 334 J/g; ΔHvap= 2260J/g
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

The heat required to change 25.0 g of water from solid ice to liquid water at 0°C  is 8350 J

Explanation:

The parameters given are

The temperature of the solid water = 0°C

The heat of fusion,   = 334 J/g

The heat of vaporization, = 2260 J/g

Mass of the solid water = 25.0 g

We note that the heat required to change a solid to a liquid is the heat of fusion, from which we have the formula for heat fusion is given as follows;

ΔH =  m ×

Therefore, we have;

ΔH =  25 g × 334 J/g = 8350 J

Which gives the heat required to change 25.0 g of water from solid ice to liquid water at 0°C  as 8350 J.

Which of the following has the smallest radius Rb+, K, K+, or Rb+
Stells [14]
The trend of elemental radius increases from top to bottom and from right to left. This means Rb is greater than K. Incorporating the positive charges, K+ is smaller than K and Rb+ is smaller than Rb. Thus, the trend in increasing order is K+,K,Rb+,Rb.
