The answer for this question provided is " Solids are made up of cation-anion pairs, but plasmas are not".

Solids are known to have closely packed particles that can be ions, molecules, or atoms. Plasmas, on the other hand, are an example of a distinct state of matter wherein the temperature is so hot that the electrons separate from the atoms and move around as free electrons. This separates molecules into electrons and cations.
