(01.04 lc) it was observed that the atoms of a substance had so much energy that it separated the electrons and protons of the atom. what is most likely the state of matter of the substance? (5 points) gas liquid plasma solid

Plasma

Explanation:

Plasma is a substance which is extremely hot. The heat present in plasma, a gas, is provided as energy in order to split electrons and protons apart. Therefore, ions and electrons are formed as products. Plasma is a synonym to an 'ionized gas'.

Normally, the standard states, gases, liquids and solids, wouldn't produce such an outcome, as not enough energy is present to perform the splitting pattern. This can only occur for gases at extremely high temperatures.

radioactive decay occurs in unstable atomic nuclei – that is, ones that don't have enough binding energy to hold

the nucleus together due to an excess of either protons or neutrons.

the answer is d. 74.02
