 So we all are pretty familiar with the three states of matter, but if I were to ask you what the fourth state of matter was Would you be able to answer that question? You're watching the interesting universe. Please remember to like and subscribe So when it comes to the first three states of matter, we already know what they are solid liquid and Gas also, we all know from basic science that in a solid the molecules are very Jam-packed tight. They have no energy at all But then when you add a little bit of heat the molecules get more energetic and start vibrating and when the Molecules in a solid such as an ice cube start vibrating you get a liquid and then you add even more heat to it Now the molecules start vibrating even more in fact now the molecules get so much energy from the heat They start bouncing around and going crazy all over the place This is the gas form of matter and even still you're crazy enough to add more heat Now what happens when you expose the gas molecules to even more heat? Something quite interesting happens the atoms in the gas molecules get stripped of all their electrons Thus they turn into ions and this is what plasma is now You're probably wondering where can I see this? Plasma well every day you see a giant ball of plasma up in the sky. That's right I'm talking about the Sun our Sun is a giant ball of plasma So basically Plasma is ionized gas because of the fact that the atoms which make up plasma are ionized Plasma responds to magnetic fields and for those of you who are still wondering what plasma looks like Here is plasma created in a microwave. Anyway, this is the interesting universe here, and I hope to catch you in future videos
