What is a Plasma? Is it the 4th State of Matter? - [5]

In this lesson, you will learn what a plasma is and why it is called the fourth state of matter. A plasma is simply a gas that has been given additional energy such that many electrons are removed from the outer valence shell of the gas atoms. The result is a combination of positively charged gas nuclei and negatively charged electrons, along with some remaining fraction of neutral gas atoms. Because of the charges present, a plasma can be thought of as a gas that conducts electricity. Plasmas are all around us - for example lightning is the breakdown of gas molecules into a plasma state. A plasma ball is a low pressure gas that has been ionized into a plasma. The aurora is when the solar wind gets trapped in the Earth's magnetic field and ionizes the gas molecules in the upper atmosphere. The light that we see from a plasma is simply photons that are emitted when an electron recombines with a positive ion yielding a neutral gas atom.

This Gentleman is a Master of the Field!!!!! I am very happy of listening such an marvelous explanation without the hassles you find in a normal lesson inside a classroom. Some of the best minutes of my life spent listening to him!!!! Thanks for your Marvelous and Dedicated time and Knowledge for us, the public that watches your excellent videos!!!!!!

Passion for understanding + passion to communicate what has been understood = authentic teacher.
Watching your videos is a perfect use of time, no matter how long they are. Thank you so much ♥️.

What would happen if the plasma has a left handed rotation? An electromagnetic field that was created by it through a negative refractive indexed meta materials. Since the energy has Blue shift with a left handed rotation, couldn’t this creat a new energy source if it is contained? This is just a thought.

Please sir, what do we mean by an atom is either positively charged or negatively charged. Is it that they're always charged in their natural state? Thanks.

@@emmanueligbilishi4834 No Most atoms are not charged because there is an equal number of protons(+) and electrons(-) So the total charge is balanced i.e zero. But if you strip an electron from the atom for example, it's total charge becomes positive because there are more protons than there are electrons. This is ionisation.
Perfect lesson. A learned more than I expected to. I understood things that were unclear to me. Now I have improved this idea of electromagnetic field and the electrons involvement around the atom. It was more than just learning about plasma. 🗣perfect ✍️✍️💚💚

If only this gentleman teaching this lecture on Plasma was around when I was attending a science class, my whole world of education would have been better off with a better grade and perhaps have gone to study in the field of electronics! I love the way this instructor really gets into the actions of how those electrons are moved by the actions of other electrons.
This is easily one of the best educational videos i ever saw. So engaging and well explained! Good job!!!!
Bought your Algebra CDs years ago my fav tutor you are. Watch your videos for fun instead of ticktock junks.
the only guy to explain things properly and admit the atom is not how it is drawn ,,,best I have ever watched and has explained things so easy.best on here
Another example of plasma is a welder's arc. This is produced when an electric field is placed between two conductors and is strong enough to make the electrons jump across from one conductor to the other. The welder operator holds a rod close enough but not touching the other conductor to produce a jumping of electrons. This gap between the conductors is maintained in order to produce a plasma. The plasma develops a very high temperature and intense light. Welders use this high temperature to liquify metals so that they can be joined back together when cooled. The welder operators must shield their eyes from the intense light produced otherwise they could damage their eyes. That is also why we could damage our eyes if we look directly at the sun. Arc welding is a very useful and convenient process for connecting metallic objects and it employs plasma to do it.
Could please make a video on Bose-Einstein Condensate, sometimes known as fifth state of matter?

Appreciate kind of extra details you tend to go into most things Science and Math topics. Interesting to know an ionized atom would need more energy to be dis-integrated subsequently after it has alread split first or 2nd or 3rd electron courtesy Ionization energy and/or Nucleus holding on to remiander of the electrons more tightly? Wonder if you shed more light? Thanks!

Btw, you explained plasma VERY WELL! Ty! Now I understand why I can't buy a jar of nutronium. Is it fair to say nutronium can only exist for long periods of time under ultra-GREAT pressures such as in the sun? Of course the sun is not nutronium but a plasma as the ions are mixed with electrons in a plasma.
Awesome
I have so many questions. Light is information(to us) at least vis-a-vis the high energy transparent plasma. So in a way the electron has to inform space-time that it has 'settled in an orbit'. I apologise if it's not a very mathematical/physical way of looking at it.

@@MathAndScience, that is fascinating! I would look forward to that video. I'd also be interested in any knowledge you might have on graphene oxide and how it can be used in bio-engineering, and if you have any ideas on how a human might be able to gain control over the electro-magnetic power of this biotech, considering that it can weaponize a body against itself, being that a body can be "hacked" once it has formed a "MAC address" and the mechanics can be remotely manipulated.....
Around 24:00 when you mention the fluorescent light hitting 11,000K, is that similar to the sun's corona achieving a million degrees Kelvin, but supposedly you could pass your hand through unharmed? It was helpful you used the neon example; what elements are involved with other plasmas, like lightning, the plasma ball, welding, fluorescent lights, the auroras...?
