Part of the Electronics glossary: Plasma is a form of matter in which many of the electron s wander around freely among the nuclei of the atom s. Plasma has been called the fourth state of matter, the other three being solid, liquid, and gas. Normally, the electrons in a solid, liquid, or gaseous sample of matter stay with the same atomic nucleus.
Plasma (physics) For other uses, see Plasma. Plasma (from Greek ÏÎ»Î¬ÏÎ¼Î±, meaning moldable substance or jelly) is one of the four fundamental states of matter, the others being solid, liquid, and gas. Yet unlike these three states of matter, plasma does not naturally exist on the Earth under normal surface conditions, and can only be artificially generated from neutral gases.
