Question 6 • IA-Chemistry A Survey of Chemistry A

What are thermal plasmas?

Answer
A
plasmas that have particles that collide infrequently
B
plasmas that reach a temperature equal to their surroundings
C
plasmas that do not reach thermal equilibrium
D
plasmas that have only a few particles ionized at any given moment

Explanation

Thermal plasmas are in thermal equilibrium, meaning their particles have roughly the same temperature. In this question, that means the plasma reaches a temperature equal to its surroundings. So the correct choice is “plasmas that reach a temperature equal to their surroundings.”
