Question

Discuss the characteristics of the fourth state of matter: plasma. What are the applications in your daily life? Provide your perspectives of its future development and applications.

Answer 1

Answer::

Characteristics of the fourth state of matter:

PLASMA:

1).A plasma is a hot ionized gas consisting of approximately equal numbers of positively charged ions and negatively charged electrons.

2).The characteristics of plasma are significantly different from those of ordinary neutral gases so that plasma's are considered a distinct "fourth state of matter".

3). plasma's are made up of electrically charged particles they are strongly influenced by electric of magnetic fields while neutral gases are not.

APPLICATIONS OF PLASMA:

1) plasma is being used in many high tech industries.

2) it is used in making many micro electric or electronic devices such as semiconductors.

3) It can help make features on chips for computers plasma is also used in making transmitters for microwaves or high temperature films.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENT & APPLICATIONS OF PLASMA:

1) Plasma added fabrication in the photo voltaic industry.

2) Thermal plasma is a powerful tool for rapid production of nano-particles and nano-structured coatings.

3)plasma discharges to help address synthetic challenges.
