Which statement is wrong about the fourth state of matter known as plasma?
Correct answer: D. There is less matter in the plasma state than in the solid, liquid, and gaseous states.
- A. The plasma contains an equal amount of positive and negative charges and is almost neutral as a whole.
- B. Plasma exists in the atmosphere of stars.
- C. Plasma exists in the region around the sun.
- D. There is less matter in the plasma state than in the solid, liquid, and gaseous states.
Explanation
Plasma is the highest energy state of matter. It consists of a collection of free-moving electrons, positive ions and neutral particles.

About Kinetic Molecular Theory
Kinetic molecular theory explains gases as rapidly moving particles separated by large distances, with negligible volume and negligible intermolecular attraction in the ideal model. It relates temperature to average kinetic energy and explains gas pressure, Boyle's and Charles's laws, diffusion, effusion and the conditions under which real gases deviate from ideal behavior.
