Karen Proctor · Answer 1

A plasma is a high energy state of matter characterized by ionized particles. It has the following characteristics: its particles collide more often, the particles have high kinetic energy, the particles are far apart and the ionized particle have no fixed volume.

Jennings · Answer 2

Plasma is basically ionized gas. Therefore, one easy test would be to check the ability of the substance to carry electric current.
