Like gases, plasmas have no fixed shape or volume, and are less dense than solids or liquids. But unlike ordinary gases, plasmas are made up of atoms in which some or all of the electrons have been stripped away and positively charged nuclei, called ions, roam freely.
Does plasma change shape?
Like a gas, plasma can change its volume and shape, but unlike a gas, it can also change its electrical charge. The same element, compound, or solution can behave very differently depending on its state of matter.
Does gas take the shape of its container?
A liquid can flow and take the shape of its container. Gases don’t have a fixed shape or a fixed volume. The particles move around all the time and spread out. This is why a gas fills its container.
