Question

If enough heat is added to a substance, electrons begin to separate from the atomic nuclei. Which process does this describe? A. A solid turning into a liquid B. A plasma turning into a gas C. A gas turning into a plasma D. A gas turning into a liquid

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to your question is: C. A gas turning into plasma.

Explanation:

The plasma state is similar to the gas state, but these to states behave very different.

Like gases, plasma does not have a shape or fixed volume and are less denser than solids and liquids.

But, unlike gases, plasma are made up of atoms in which some of the electrons have been stripped away.

Answer 2

Answer:

If enough heat is added to a substance, electrons begin to separate from the atomic nuclei.  This describes the process where a gas that becomes plasma (option C)

Explanation:

Plasma is a state of matter that is characterized by its high energy and instability. It is a gas-like state, composed of ionized atoms in which electrons circulate freely. In other words, the molecules are ionized, that is, they have detached themselves from some of their electrons, thus forming a mixture of positive nuclei and free electrons, which has the ability to conduct electricity. The plasma has no definite shape or defined volume.

Plasmas are good conductors of electricity.

Plasma is formed under extremely high temperatures and pressures, making the impacts between electrons very violent, separating from the nucleus and leaving only scattered atoms. In other words, plasma is produced when a gas is heated at very high temperatures causing collisions between the atoms that release electrons by ionizing the gas.

Finally, if enough heat is added to a substance, electrons begin to separate from the atomic nuclei.  This describes the process where a gas that becomes plasma (option C)
