From Wikipedia: "Plasmas are by far the most common phase of ordinary matter in the universe, both by mass and by volume."That's because plasma makes up both stars, and the intergalactic medium.

However, I wasn't able to find a specific percentage. I would assume that the best you can get is an estimate, which may not be very accurate.

What are 3 chemical types of matter?

The classical states of matter are solid, liquid and gas; now many other state of matter are accepted: plasma, Bose-Einstein condensate, superfluid, strange matter, etc.


What is considered the fourth state of matter after solid liquid and gas?

Plasma is another state of matter, but not found on our earth. Plasma reaches fairly high temperatures and can be found in the sun, or other stars:)Edit: Err... that's WAY off... plasma is found ALL OVER Earth, though it is rarely present for extended periods of time. High-heat flames can cause formation of plasma, and electrical current can also produce plasma (if you've ever seen those ball things that have what looks like "lightning" shooting around in them, that's actually basically what it is, only with a much lower electrical current that isn't in the slightest bit dangerous to a human, but the visible part of it is actually plasma). The visible part of lightning is plasma, as is any visible electrical current.So, no, plasma is not only found away from earth. It can be formed by burning things at fairly high temperatures e.g. gas flames, or by exciting gasses with electrical currents.e.g. discharge lamps


What forms can matter take?

The forms of matter are infinitely varied; all the material objects that we see here on Earth, in their endless variety, are composed of matter. And doubtlessly there are many additional forms of matter to be found in other places in the universe as well.


How many forms of matter are there?

According to my chemistry professor, there are 12 MAIN states of matter. Solid Liquid Gas Plasma Superfluid Supersolid Bose-Einstein condensate Fermionic condensate String-net liquid Supercritical fluid Colloid Degenerate matter These are the main states of matter but some of the ones above can be divided into more specific states. Most people say there is 3 states of matter solid, liquid, and gas. you might hear some people include plasma or Bose-Einstein condensate. But you probably never meet someone who knows all 12 main states of matter.


Do protons have the same mass as plasma particles?

yes. plasma is just a physical state of matter and therefore that matter will have a mass. its what stars are made of; superheated hydrogen. it also exists in fusion accelerators (PBFA - particle beam fusion accelerator) or at the instance that lighting strikes and super-heats the air around the flowing current.

What is plasma in plasma tv?

The plasma in plasma TV is actually real plasma. Many people tend to think that plasma is something made up by science fiction novels, but it's actually closer to home then you might think. plasma is a state of matter like a solid, liquid or gas but with different properties. It is best described as being similar to gas, but is not exactly the same. The reason why plasma is used in televisions is because it can be manipulated into showing different colours. Plasma is matter heated to roughly 10,000 degrees and so if you pause an image on a plasma screen TV and leave on for a long time it will begin to burn into your TV. Plasma is often commonly found in households as it is used in light bulbs.

Why are stars plasma?

There is a bit of a misconception here ... Plasma in itself is not a substance any more than "liquid" or "solid" or "gas" in itself is a specific substance. Plasma is a state of matter. Stars are hot glowing balls of gas in which intense pressure and heat (which results from the intense pressure) cause nuclear fussion. This causes them to glow. Many gases in the star are in the plasma phase, but they are not "made of plasma" so to speak. Stars are made mostly of hydrogen and helium, though white dwarves also contain carbon and stars even further in their life cycle contain iron.
