Why can the volume of a sample of plasma change when the substance is moved from one container to another?
plasma is made of charged ions and electrons, so they interact differently in different places. plasma can have lots of space between its particles, so it naturally expands and compresses. plasma is made of neutral atoms that can split into separate ions and electrons when placed in a new container. plasma can change between a rigid shape and a free-moving form, so it will have different volumes in different containers.

B) Plasma can have lots of space between its particles, so it naturally expands and compresses.

Explanation:

Just took the quiz and got it right

Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A hot ionized gas consisting of positive particles and negative electrons is known as plasma.

Since, plasma is a hot gas so its particles move rapidly from one place to other leading to more number of collisions between them.

Therefore, more number of spaces occur between the particles due to which they can be compressed by applying pressure or expand easily.

Thus, we can conclude that the volume of a sample of plasma change when the substance is moved from one container to another because plasma can have lots of space between its particles, so it naturally expands and compresses.

are there answer choices to this question? this seems like a question where you have options to choose from.

i think the answer is a, hope this : )
