    I love how despite its importance and abundance, the mere fact that there's four states of matter is pretty well denied in science classes (at least where I live) until high school at the earliest (I personally didn't hear about it in science class until grade 12 chemistry...), with an insistence that there's only three states of matter (solid, liquid gas)

    • @ArtanesCS-Rockon
      @ArtanesCS-Rockon 9 років тому +47

      It makes it easier for teachers to deny then explain. Why learn today what they won't need until their 18, in college, and feel like an idiot.

    • @tylermaxwell535
      @tylermaxwell535 9 років тому +63

      There are MANY more states of matter than just solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. There's superfluid, bose-einstein condensate, fermionic condensate, rydberg molecules, quantum hall state, strange matter, photonic matter, dropletons, degenerate matter, quark-gluon plasma, color-glass condensate, supersolid, string-net liquid, superglass, dark matter, and equilibrium gel. There are probably more that I missed.

      Tyler Maxwell some of those I've heard of, though many not as states of matter. and I can understand why they aren't even mentioned, same with plasma (compared to the 3 you're initially taught about, it's a complicated topic). but I just think that their existence shouldn't be denied when asked about before they're to be taught. instead, they should just say it will be taught later (even if it would only ever be taught if it ended up pertaining to your career)

    You can make your own plasma with a glass, microwave, and a grape. You cut the grape in half and set it down in the microwave, cut side up. You put a drinking glass over the grape, better to use a clear one. Turn the microwave on and and you can start seeing plasma! Don't do it took long though because you could screw up your microwave.

    Never heard of this channel, but you did such a great job of explaining plasma in layman terms - thank you!
    Essentially, as far as physical forms go, plasma is basically a gas, but we don't consider it gas because its properties are so different from gas (such as gas being an insulator while plasma being VERY conductive). I think the best analogy I can come up with is plasma is to gas as fungi is to plants - uninformed people think it's the same thing because they share one very prominent feature, but the details is what sets them apart and shows you just how different they truly are.

    The Five States of Matter:
    1-Bose-Einstein-Condenste:
    When the components of each individual atom in a substance condense into a 'Super Atom' blob.
    2-Solid:
    When the atoms in a substance are hardly moving but still vibrating
    3-Liquid:
    When the atoms in a substance can move but not away from each other.
    4-Gas:
    When the atoms in a substance can move in any and all directions.
    5-Plasma:
    When the electrons of an atom gain enough energy to break free of their nuclei
    And then there is that special temperature know only to occur at the big-bang where even the quarks fly apart from each other. The key is the energy present in the substance: the more energy, the more spread out the matter, the less energy, the more condensed and squashed up the matter.

    • @JNCressey
      @JNCressey 9 років тому +5

      Don't be silly, saying there's 5 states of matter is as dumb as saying there's 5 senses.
      You'd be ignoring glass, thermoception, liquid crystal, thirst, superfluid, hunger and strange matter, to name a few.
      The sate doesn't solely depend on how energetic a substance is, there's other factors like pressure.

      Redstone Ninja Except it's not; a state of matter is (partially) defined by having a discontinuity in some property (temperature, pressure, etc.). For example, putting energy into ice that is at 0°C will not raise its temperature as the energy goes toward phase transition instead. It isn't a continuous spectrum, it is explicitly discontinuous. More information and a better explanation at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_of_matter.

      @TheDanorte 9 років тому +25

      Not quite sir. Fire can be gas or plasma. Low temperature flames, like in a fireplace, are just gas, with excited atoms, which emit brighter light. But in high temperature flames, like in the sun, very hot chemical reactions or so, that gas actually turns into plasma, because of the heat.

    • @amihartz
      @amihartz 9 років тому +3

      TheDanorte But the sun isn't fire, it's plasma.
      Benjamin Bugl No, the chemical reaction is just hot enough to cause the gas the glow, and the heat drives it upwards. All fire is is glowing gas rising upwards.

      @joresvanwensen922 9 років тому +1

      Amelia Hartman yes but (in case of the fireplace) its just gas with the electrons jumping from a higher orbit after the reaction (combustion) to there lower orbit emitting a photon in the process, like TheDanorte said. and yes the sun is not burning difined as combustion but there are "Flames" emitted from its surface. read up on particle physics if you want to know the exact interactions of all the matter/particles ;) simple chemistry will not do

    So lightning is a plasma? I always thought it was just an energy discharge.
    This does beg the obvious question: how much does lightning weigh?

    I've spent a lot of time in trains and on railway stations in recent months, so while I'm not familiar with St. Elmo's Fire, I have very regularly seen plasma in the shape of electric arcs between overhead catenaries and pantographs...

      You think "Richard" is long and complicated? Or "Max" as a matter of fact?
      How do you define "long and complicated"? And how do you know that most people, in general, do not have long and complicated name? Have you compared the proportion of common people with long and complicated names to that of the scientists?

      Yeah in theory it could. Also Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the known Universe but we don't see our world filled with Hydrogen powered cars. Do we? The simple reason is we are not technically advanced enough as yet. In the future maybe...

  • @ShotgunLlama

    Question: when the particles are ionized in a plasma, are all its electrons delocalized, or only a certain amount of them? So when Neon is a plasma, are we looking at Ne10+ ions and 10e- for every nucleus, or some other combination like Ne8+ or something else in which some electrons remain a part of the ion?

  • @slyryan5550
    @slyryan5550 5 років тому

    i already know this but what I'm looking for is how plasma acts does it have a certain volume or shape and does it have any push like a liquid or does it act more like a gas and just flows around whatever goes through it

    Question: What consistency is plasma? I've read that it's jelly-like. Is that true?
    Also, does it have to be conducting electricity to stay plasma? Does it revert back to gas if it doesn't, or does it just have to be at an extreme temperature?
    I'd really appreciate answers! I'm writing a story where these questions come into play, and I wnat to get them right, but I've never found anywhere with an answer.

    I wonder if plasma could be used to induce chemical reactions? It sounds a lot like a powerful solvent, except that anything you mix into it may also go into plasma phase, thus preventing it from forming new bonds. Maybe the trick is to heat stuff to plasma and then let it cool into gas, whereupon it will take the gas form with the lowest energy state.
