Which statement about plasma is false?
A
Plasma is commonly found in stars, including the sun.
B
Plasma is a state of matter consisting of charged particles.
C
Plasma can be created by heating a gas to high temperatures.
D
Plasma has a definite shape and volume.
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that plasma is one of the four fundamental states of matter, along with solid, liquid, and gas.
Recognize that plasma consists of a collection of free-moving electrons and ions, which means it does not have a definite shape or volume, similar to gases.
Recall that plasma is commonly found in stars, including the sun, where high temperatures ionize the gas particles.
Note that plasma can be created by heating a gas to high temperatures, causing the gas particles to become ionized and form plasma.
Identify the false statement: Plasma has a definite shape and volume. This is incorrect because plasma, like gases, does not have a definite shape or volume.
