Ionised particles are particles that carry a positive or negative charge. This is due to the loss or gain of an electron or electrons. Losing an electron will cause a particle to become more positively charged, while gaining an electron will cause a particle to become more negatively charged.

How you build a fire detecter?
Actually they are smoke detectors, they detect the result of the fire, smoke. A smoke detector works as follows: There is a chamber with a small nuclear source in it. Smoke particles are hit by the radiation and are ionized, ie, an electron is knocked off the particle leaving the particle with a charge on it. The chamber has two parallel plates in it with a voltage across the plates. The ionized particles are attracted to one of the plates, causing an electric current to flow. This current is amplified and detected and sets off the alarm.
Can you hear electrical impulses in the air?
Ans:air can be ionized - yes. There is such a thing as an ionizer, which people believe ionizes dust particles, which then stick together, and fall to the ground, thus cleaning the air. The effectiveness of such a device is open to debate.Air can be ionized by light or during a thunder storm too.But if you got a lump of air from inside a room, I'm not sure how much charge it would have. I believe it would most likely be neutral.
What is the visible discharge of electricity surrounding a charged conductor when its potential exceeds the critical value at which the surrounding air is ionized?
Corona.
What is flame kernel?
the particles which first achieved the combustion reaction, leads other particles to the activation energy.
Can the neon in a glass tube be excited more than once?
Yes, the gas is ionized every time sufficient voltage is applied and remains that way until the voltage is removed. While the gas is ionized, individual neon atoms are continually bombarded by free electrons, causing their orbital electrons to jump to higher energy (excited) states. When an electron falls back to the lower energy state, it emits a photon.
A gaseous mixture of highly ionized particles?
Plasma
Is plasma ionized particles in category of fluid?
no it is plasma
In what layer of the atmosphere do you find ionized gas particles?
The "ionosphere".
Does plasma have charged particles?
I think so. Plazma is ionized dust
The shuttle cant launch in lightingWhat is in the rocket exhaust that conducts electricity?
Ionized particles.
In which layer of the atmosphere are the ionized particles that cause the aurora borealis?
Thermosphere, to be specific Ionosphere.

Thermosphere, to be specific Ionosphere.
When plasma gets de-ionized what elemental particles does it become?
None. It becomes normal atoms.
Where does gas particles become electrically charged?
By gas particles I suppose you mean gas molecules? These become charged when ionized, when an electron is stripped off.
If there's no air in space how is there a 'solar wind'?
'Solar wind' is not a flow of air, but a flow of ionized particles from the sun.
What is an air shower?
An air shower is an extensive cascade of ionized particles formed by the entry of a cosmic ray into the atmosphere.
Is maple syrup a solid?
No, its actually made out of ionized particles, forming another state of matter called Plasma.
